A warm-growing epiphyte widely distributed across the forests of South and Southeast Asia, producing dense umbellate inflorescences with numerous small flowers arranged in a radial display. The elongated, spatulate lateral sepals fan outward in a striking sunburst pattern, while the contrasting dark labelos and diminutive petals at the center add a bold focal point to the cluster.
