Plants flexuose to erect, 150-600 mm tall, spreading by stolons; leaves spreading, lorate to narrowly lanceolate, up to 250 mm long, upper leaves reduced to sheaths and grading into the floral bracts. Inflorescences with 1 (-3), very rarely 10 flowers; bracts green, slighdy longer than the ovaries, enclosing the ovary and spur apex. Flowers with the lateral sepals and lip carmine, galea orange inside with carmine veins, petals pale carmine basally, blade yellow with red spots. Median sepal erect, acute, 20-60 mm tall, galea 15-20 mm wide x c. 15 mm deep, lower front margins incurved; spur semi-pendent, parallel to the ovary, conical, acute, laterally flattened, 10-15 mm long; lateral sepals patent, apex often reflexed, narrowly ovate, flat, 35-65 mm long. Petals flanking the anther, apex curved over it, obliquely narrowly obovate rhomboid, acute, basal margin fused to the rostellum, 20-25 mm long. Lip patent, reflexed apically, linear, 20-25 mm long. Anther almost horizontal; stigma sessile, equally tripulvinate; lateral rostellum lobes horn-like, canaliculate, c. 5 mm tall, central lobe reflexed.
