A distinctive species from the cloud forests of South America, producing long, zigzagging, freely branched inflorescences with small, well-spaced flowers. The dark, recurved sepals contrast sharply with a prominent bilobed lip bearing broad, rounded lobes, giving each bloom a delicate and whimsical character.
