This medium-sized epiphyte is endemic to eastern Java, thriving in cold, high mountain mist forests at 2,000 to 3,000 meters. It grows on small exposed trees with clustered pseudobulbs that often produce keikis. The leaves are arranged in two rows, with the lower ones quickly falling and the upper ones persisting. Blooming in spring, it produces a short inflorescence with one or rarely two hanging flowers along both leafed and leafless canes.
