Dorsal sepal c. 3 × 2.75 mm, obliquely erect, elliptical to round, deeply concave, small apical point. Lateral sepals spreading beneath labellum (not recurved or inrolled), lanceolate, c. 3 × 0.9 mm, apex blunt. Petals narrowly oblong, c. 2.8 × 0.5 mm, widely spreading, base within dorsal sepal. Labellum oblong, c. 4–5 × 2 mm, margins with many cell-clusters, apex broadly and shallowly notched, appearing rounded from upturned corners. Basal callus of 2 large, dark green, conspicuously raised, confluent mounds; apical callus conspicuously raised, subconical, pale green.
