Flower Size .32" [8 mm] wide
Found in New Guinea on trees in forests at elevations around 600 meters as a miniature to small sized, warm growing epiphyte with a short, decumbent rhizome giving rise to close set, conical-cylindrical pseudobulbs carrying a single, apical, erect, coriaceous, elliptic-ligulate, obtuse with a minute apicule, narrowing below into the subpetiolate base leaf that blooms in the later spring on an erect, basal, filiform, single flowered inflorescence with elliptic, apiculate floral bracts.
Schlechter states that although similar to B bulhartii in habit this species does not possess a long-pointed towards the apex lip and has white flowers with the outside tinged in red, the lip is white with one white yellow and 2 brown red central stripes
