Found in Vietnam without locality as a small sized epiphyte with 1/2" [1.2 cm] between each, cylindric, 4 angled pseudobulb carrying 2, apical, lanceolate, acute, plicate, 7 nerved, grooved petiolate base leaves that blooms on a proteranthous or synanthous, 2.2" [5.6 cm] long, curved, fractiflex, successively 3 flowered inflorescence with ovate-lanceolate, acute, persistent floral bracts.

Many references put this species as a synomnym of C assamica but I have left it separate for now.
