Found in Sulawesi on bare trees as a small sized, hot to warm growing epiphyte with 4 angled, unifoliate pseudobulbs carrying a single apical leaf and blooms on a basal, single flowered inflorescence.

Most references put this specis as a synonym of B antenniferum which most likely it is, but I have left it separate pending more research
