It
has long green leaves, with a single flower that grows on a long stem. Its
petals and lip are orangey-yellow with an reddish-ochre wash, while the
upright dorsal sepal is only
orangey-yellow the base and
white at the top, and speckled with tiny purplish
spots or sometimes a patch of lines. Like other members of this group, the lip of the flower is modified into a
slipper-shaped pouch.
