These terrestrial plants consist of a single stem with a single fleshy leaf midway up the stem and a bract just beneath the flower. Seedlings will just bear one leaf atop their stems. The flowers range in color from white to magenta, but are typically a medium pink color. Size is typically 1.5 inches (3.75 cm) across. The sepals spread widely, but the petals tend to remain relatively close to the lip. The lip is rather bristled with three green crests running along the middle. Flowers sometimes have a raspberry-like fragrance.
