Inflorescences borne in the axils of dehisced leaves, racemose, arcuate, 40-120 mm long and with 10-25 flowers. Flowers star-like, 10-15 mm in diameter, cream-coloured. Sepals lorate, acute to acuminate, reflexed, 6-9 x 2 mm; median slightly narrower than laterals. Petals lorate, acute to acuminate, reflexed, 5-6 x 1.5 mm. Lip pendent, 7-9 x 2.5 mm, lorate to lorate-triangulate, ecallose, trilobed with side lobes diverging, acute, about V2 as long as midlobe; spur 12-14 mm long. Gynostemium erect, 3 mm long. Capsules ellipsoid, 7 x 4 mm.
