They form pendulous [[raceme]]s with many fragrant, long-lasting, waxy [[flower]]s, in white, (rarely) yellow, purple or pink colors, with a forward facing spur, growing on stout many-leaved [[Plant stem|stems]] from the leaf axils.
  −

The [[Leaf |leaves]] grow distichously (in two vertical rows). The leaf margins are bilobed, while the apex is emarginate.
     −
There are [[ligule]]s. Morphologically, they are very similar to [[Vanda]].
