DESCRIPTION: Small sized, warm to cool growing epiphyte with egg shaped to elliptical, strongly compressed pseudobulbs that are basally partially enveloped by seveal distichous, imbricate, folded sheaths with the uppermost carrying leaf like blades similar to the 1 to 2 apical, oblong-lanceolate, thinly leathery, acute leaf that basally is longitudinally folded.
