A widespread, medium to large sized, hot growing species from Java, Lesser Sunda Islands, Moluccas, the Philippines, Sulawesi, New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Fiji, New Caledonia, Samoa, Vanuatu and the Caroline Islands that is usually epiphytic in hot coastal primary forest jungles on tree trunks halfway up the bole from sea-level to 1700 metres in elevation. This species has ribbed, slightly flattened, slender basally and thicker in the upper 60% stems carrying 2 to 4, large, persistent leaves that are near the apex. They bloom from spring until late summer on an erect, to 15 to 40cm long, usually many (15 to 25) flowered raceme with heavy textured, color variable flowers and require even water and fertilizer year round. They have an axillary, apical, erect or curved inflorescence that arises from the leaf axils at the apex of the leafed canes with flowers that have a delicate fragrance and are long-lasting. | A widespread, medium to large sized, hot growing species from Java, Lesser Sunda Islands, Moluccas, the Philippines, Sulawesi, New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Fiji, New Caledonia, Samoa, Vanuatu and the Caroline Islands that is usually epiphytic in hot coastal primary forest jungles on tree trunks halfway up the bole from sea-level to 1700 metres in elevation.
