Found in New Guinea in montane forests at elevations around 1300 meters as a medium sized, cool growing epiphyte with a very short rhizome giving rise to sometimes branching, thin, densely leafy stems carrying erect-patent, glabrous, linear to linear-ligulate, unequally and obtusely bilobed apically, narrowing below into the subpetiolate base leaves that blooms in the late fall and early winter on a terminal, single flowered inflorescence.
