Luisia teres, an evergreen perennial orchid
species, inhabits trunks or branches, with 20-40cm long stems, and
enveloped with leaf sheaths. The 6-12cm long leaves 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.
