The small, 1 pseudobulbs are conical-ovoid, longitudinally grooved, spaced close together on the rhizome and have a gray green appearance with purple spots, and carrying a single apical, erect, very coriaceous, 4 leaf. The racemose inflorescence is basal, and fairly lax, with few to many, longlasting, non-fragrant flowers that appear in the summer and fall.
