Labellum is very prominent, solid bright purple-fuxia, wide open with the column exposed, edges are wavy and lightly fringed. Around the column there is a light yellowy-green shade in contrast with the solid color of labellum. It develop 3 flowers per spike contained in a sheat that grows immediately as the main leaf opens. Is lovely Scented with an intense sweet floral perfume.
