They produce pseudobulbs with 2 narrow to broadly elliptic, leathery, pleated mid-green leaves. Flowers are borne in racemes, mainly from the centre of new growth, usually from spring to summer. The flowers are almost always white or creamy white. Cultivate in baskets or shallow wide pots, in regular orchid potting mix.
