Descibed by L.V.Averyanov in 2000, this species from northern Vietnam grows mostly lithophytic on limestone, also epiphytic, in an altitude of 1100 to 2200 meters. You can see the long bracts. No scent, easy growing and not prone to diseases.
I grow them intermediate in a mix of medium fine fir bark and clay pellets under the bench of cattleyas without a decided rest period. They stand next to cochleanthes, Gongoras, Trichopilias, Sobralia.
