This epiphyte grows almost exclusively on Beech trees in Lamington
National Park. This orchid is locally common in the Beech forests and
large plants commonly cover the Beech trees.
The pseudobulbs grow to 50cm by 15mm with two to five apical leaves to
10cm by 20mm. The flower stem grows to 10cm with up to about 15 flowers
30mm across. The white flower has yellow and purple marking on the
labellum with the tip of the labellum upcurved.
This distinctive orchid cannot be confused with any other orchid when
in flower as its distinctive upturned labellum tip is unique. |
