This species can be found in Sri Lanka, India, China, Thailand, Myanmar, Nicobar Islands, Laos, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore and Philippines. In Peninsular Malaysia, this species was found in Langkawi Islands. In Perlis, this species was recorded in Bukit Rongkit at elevation of 100 – 200 m on tree trunk in rather exposed place. The pseudobulb of this species is close together with two or three internodes and it is covered with basal sheaths. This orchid species has three to four leaves that are lanceolate to obovate, fleshy, unequally bilobed tip and widest at the apex. The inflorescences of this species are terminal and branching. Its flowers are not resupinated, spirally arranged on rachis, small, pale greenish and hardly open.
