Found in Borneo in moss and lower montane forests at elevations of 1300 to 1800 meters as a miniature sized, warm growing epiphyte with a cylindrical pseudobulb carrying a single, apical, terete leaf and blooms on a basal, erect, 3" [7.5 cm] long, several flowered inflorescence
CAUTION Now considered by some to be a synonym of B unguiculatum but if the photo above is correct they are not even close, I await better references.
