Scapes erect, 1–2 ft. high; racemes 4–6 in. long, many-flowered. Bracts ovate-lanceolate, acute, 1–3 lin. long. Pedicels 5–8 lin. long. Flowers green, petals and lip with a few broad black lines, centre of the sepals black. Sepals and petals broadly elliptical-oblong, obtuse, 5–6 lin. long. Lip 5–6 lin. long, four-lobed; side lobes broad, rounded; front pair similar but larger; disc smooth, with a broad erect bilobed tubercle at the base; spur clavate- or subclavate-oblong, 1 1/2–2 lin. long.
