ORIGIN: This is a large, hot to cool growing, epiphytic species from Madagascar found at altitudes of sea-level to 1300 meters in coastal rainforests often overhanging rivers.

DESCRIPTION: This is a large, hot to cool growing, epiphytic species from Madagascar found at altitudes of sea-level to 1300 meters in coastal rainforests often overhanging rivers, that is evergreen but needs a semi-dry winter rest after the bulbs have matured. The large plant has ovoid-tetragonal pseudobulbs enveloped by several sheaths and carrying 3 to 5, oblong, plicate, obliquely rounded apically leaves and flowers in the spring and summer from the half completed new pseudobulb with a basal, arching, to 3' [90 cm] long, bracteate inflorescence with many waxy, long-lasting, fragrant flowers. The mature pseudobulb is unusual in that it has a four sided, tall, spindle shape.

FLOWER SIZE: 3 1/2 inches [7.5 cm] -- information provided by Jay Pfahl, author of the Internet Orchid Species Encyclopedia (IOSPE).
