Schlechter states that this species is similar to L similis but it has an inflorescence as long as the leaf, has a mid lobe of the lip that is less truncate and distinctly 3 toothed in front, and the column is shorter and less slender. L genychila has an inflorescnece that is much longer than the leaf, has a truncate lip without three apical teeth and a longer, thinner column.
