Pleione forrestii is a small genus of predominantly terrestrial but sometimes epiphytic or lithophytic, miniature orchids. They have relatively large, spongy, almost globular or ampulliform pseudobulbs, narrowed at the apex. Every pseudobulb carries one or two pleated parallel-veined leaves. The big, showy flowers originate from new shoots formed at the base of the pseudobulb. They are pink to purplish, white or yellow, while the fringed, tubular lip is often paler or white, with yellow, red or purple dots and stripes. This genus comprises about 20 species. Pleione forrestii is distributed in the mountains and foothills of the Asia.
