a saprophytic orchid species occurring on evergreen forest floors.
Its whole is yellowish-white and lacks chlorophyll pigments. The

upper parts bear many downward-facing white flowers in a racemose
arrangement. Flowers: either sepals or side petals are 8mm long.
Lips are the same size, broadly ovate, and have several pale
red-purple dots. Bloom time: June-July. |
