Luisia teres, an
evergreen perennial orchid species, inhabits trunks or branches with
stems 20-40cm long and enveloped with leaf sheaths. Leaves, 6-12cm
in length, are fleshy and cylindrical (cross-section: 3-4mm); the
phyllotaxis alternates in two rows. From leaf axils, some flowers,
approximately 1cm in diameter, appear in June-July, both sepals and
petals being light green, and lips blackish-brown, having small side
lobes at the bases. Bloom time: June-July.
