The height of the stems grows to 10-15 cm. At the base of the stem are two glossy oblong leaves that grow 6-10 cm long and 1.5-4 cm wide. The base of the leaf becomes a sheath and hugs the stem. The flowering period is from July to August, and several white flowers are attached to the tips of the stems. It is easy to distinguish due to the characteristic pattern in the form of a "W" at the base of the lip flap.
