This is a common mangrove swamp species; but I have also 
met with it in the higher parts of several hills of the interior. 
The flowers are usually pure white, except for a little pink 
on the mentum and lip, and some yellow also on the latter. 
At the base of the foot of the column is a large square cushion 
(pulvinus) of an orange-red colour. I have also, however, 
seen a form in damp hill woods, in which the sepals and petals 
are coloured a dirty pink.

It is sometimes difficult to tell dried specimens of this from 
i. nutans, Lindl., but it is very distinct when alive. It forms 
often quite a mat of rhizomes on the branches of the trees in 
the mangrove swamps. The flowers are of a dull flesh colour, 
with the yellow on the lip as in H. nutans, Lindl. 
The figure in Scortechini’s drawings alluded to by Hook. 
f., Fl. Brit. Ind., v. p. 800, is evidently intended for this 
Species.
