LOCATION
Grows on rocky outcrops at elevations of 1300-1600 m in Yunnan Provice, China.

PLANT DESCRIPTION
Growths appear from an elongated under ground rhizome spaced some 15-25 cm apart. The 7-8 leaves measure 10-20 cm in length and 2.5-5 cm  wide. Dark green, boldly tessellated with pale green above and heavily spotted with purple beneath.

 FLOWER DESCRIPTION
INFLORESCENCE

DORSAL SEPAL
Tear drop shaped and apically acuminate. Concolour apple green.
VENTRAL SEPAL
Bidentate at the top and bicarinate. Similar to the dorsal.
PETALS
Apically acute and similar in shape and size to the petals. Narrow stripes of maroon start at the base and go within a few millimetres of their tips.
LABELLUM
Subspheroid with corrugations at the involute margins. It is spotted maroon within and translucent so the spots are visible through the pouch walls.
