A floriferous epiphyte from the Andean cloud forests, forming compact clusters of small pseudobulbs with erect, lanceolate leaves. It produces an impressive flush of small flowers simultaneously from the base, each with a cucullate dorsal sepal, spreading lateral sepals, and a lip with distinctly fimbriate lateral lobes.
