Sedirea japonicum
is an epiphytic perennial orchid growing on
evergreen tree trunks or rocks in mild-climate regions. Stems are
short, with many aerial roots at the base, where 3-5 oblong, thick
leaves emerge, arranged distichously in two rows. As its bloom time
approaches, pendent flower stalks emerge from the leaf axils in a
racemose manner, bearing 4-10 light green flowers measuring 1.5-2cm
in diameter. The side sepals feature several red-purple lateral
stripes and the same color spots on the lips. Bloom time: May-August |
