The plaited linear leaves are oblong lanceolate, with a lgth of 9 to 19 cm and a width of 0.8 to 1.5 cm. The apex is acuminate. There are amplexicaul (clasping the stem) sheathing stipules.
This orchid blooms in summer and autumn, showing rather op clusters of showy terminal flowers, t at the most. They bloom in succession on the terminal racemes, which are 7 to 16 cm long. These flowers, 5–8 cm in diameter, are a rosy lilac and white disc with a purple lip. The bracts are broadly triangular and surround the main stalk of the flower cluster. The occasional fertilized seed pods contain minute powdery seeds, and small plants oft develop near the cane ds after flowering, which likely aid in propagation if allowed to reach the soil.
At one point in time only 200 of the plants were recorded growing naturally in Singapore, rdering the species close to extinction. This was due to the destruction of its natural habitat, namely the rainforests and mangrove forests. However, through replanting efforts by NParks, the species is now listed as a common cultivated plant.
