Found in New Guinea in montane forests at elevations around 1000 meters as a small sized, warm to cool growing epiphyte with a very short rhizome giving rise to branching, terete, slightly compressed, densely leafy stems carrying erect-patent to subpatent, glabrous, fleshy, linear, obliquely obtuse apically leaves that blooms in the early winter and early summer on a terminal, single flowered inflorescence.
