This epiphyte or occasional lithophyte forms dense clumps on rocks and
trees in the rainforest of Lamington National Park. It typically grows on
the upper branches of rainforest trees so is easily overlooked due to its
relatively small size.
The pseudobulbs grow to 25mm by 15mm with two apical leaves to 7cm by
8mm. The flowering stem grows to 15cm with up to 15 flowers. The greenish
yellow flowers are 8mm across, waxy with an unusual horned labellum.
This orchid can be easily identified by its short pseudobulbs and
arching raceme of greenish yellow flowers. There are no other similar
orchids which can be confused with this orchid. |
