Compact growing, medium-sized (30 - 45cm) epiphytic orchid, with upright, 20-30cm long, evergreen leaves. New growth appears from the base of swolled stem - pseudobulb. Oval-shaped, slightly flattened pseudobulbs are partially covered by a pair of green, leafed sheaths. Linear, fleshy, mid-green, evergreen leaves are borne in pair at the tip of pseudobulbs. New flowering stems arise from the axils of young, mature pseudobulbs and the leafed sheaths. Up to 12 flowers approximately 8 cm across are carried on a long, arching stem. Star-shaped, pale pink or cream flowers are marked with deep red irregular spots. Lip is usually white, with frilled edge and darker markings or spots in the centre. A very popular and reliable intergeneric orchid hybrid.
