bracts at the end of the stem.

This plant is remarkable for being the only species with 
lateral, not terminal, flowers. It forms a large tuft, with several 
tall stems, 5 feet or less in height. The lower leaves fall off as 
the stem grows, so that the lower part is bare of all but the 
sheaths. The leaves are thicker than usual in the genus, and 
when dry are dark brown, wrinkled, and polished. The apices 
are very unequal, one being one-eighth of an inch longer than 
the other. 
The flowers are rather fleshy, and, like those of the rest of 
the genus, do not preserve well. The sepals and petals are 
pale yellow tinted with red. The lip has the lateral lobes white 
with a few red streaks and spots, on the disc between them is a 
honey-coloured raised portion. The mid-lobe (epichil) is more 
fleshy in texture, honey-coloured with crimson dots, its sides 
are rolled up so as to meet in the middle line.
