Found from Assam India, eastern Himalayas, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanamar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Lesser Sunda Islands, Borneo, Java and Sumatra, in primary montane forests at elevations of 300 to 1700 meters as a miniature, hot to cool growing epiphyte with swollen apically pseudobulbs carrying 3 to 5, elliptic lanceolate, subacute to acute, gradually tapering below into the short, grooved petiolate base leaves and blooms in the fall on an axillary, extremely short, compressed, 2 to 3 flowered, racemose inflorescence with elliptic recurved, yellow petaloid floral bracts .
CAUTION I have misgivings about this determination as the references do not mention the hairs on the margins of the lip, so use with caution. It fits in all other respects.
