This small to medium-sized, hot to cool-growing epiphyte is found in Hainan, Assam, Bangladesh, the eastern Himalayas, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam at 250 to 1700 meters in evergreen and montane forests. It has erect or downbent yellowish stems with membranous sheaths and leathery, deciduous leaves. Blooming from February to August, peaking in May and June, it produces 2 to 3 fragrant, long-lasting flowers on short racemes from the upper nodes of 2-year-old, pendulous, leafless canes, with a scent of rhubarb or raspberry.
