An elegant little plant, with the large conspicuous bracts so common in the genus, and 
a compact raceme, reminding one of an ear of wheat, whence the specific name.

At 7000 feet; epiphytic ( Haviland). 
This is quite an aberrant plant, with a branching stem, from which on one side rise 
a number of distant short branches which represent the pseudobulbs, from the apex of 
which arise the racemes. I think itis best referred to the section Sarcopodiwm at 
present, but it differs much in habit from the others of this section.
