How to identify Jewel orchid (Ludisia discolor)

Jewel orchid

It produces small, inconspicuous flowers that contrast with its ornamental leaves, more often noted for their decorative charm than for their floral display. Its overall growth habit tends to be low and sprawling, making it an attractive groundcover in suitable environments.
