Large plant with six to eight angular erect and drooping stems, 2-3 mm in diameter and 30-40 cm long. Three to six leaves grow on the tip of young stems. Inflorescences with many yellow flowers, 2 cm-3 cm wide. A very common ornamental orchid in Laos, but becoming rare in the wild as demand is high. Harvests of 3 kg-5 kg per person per day are possible, and flowers sell at $0.5 per kg (fresh). Found in all forest types.
there are signs that this genus is becoming rarer due to high demand from traders. It fetches about $0.3-$0.5 per kg at local markets, mainly in the south. Planting is best from rhizomes.
