This has the habit of L. torricellensis, Schlechter, but is larger and has broader leaves. 
The column is very remarkable, quite unlike any in this section, being very short and 
stout, neariy quite straight, with broad, thin, pale wings running along both sides 
and continued along the back of the clinandrium.

The pseudobulbs are short and reduced to a small subeylindrical stem, covered by the 
leaf-bases, which are not articulated. The leaves are not as thin as those of typical 
Mollifolie, whilst the blade is gradually narrowed towards the base, where it dilates a 
little. The main nerve of this narrowed portion runs at first centrally, but where the 
leaf widens it runs to one side and becomes rapidly more slender.
