Pantropical widelip orchid
A long and narrow pseudocorm is unique, but the flowers are small and sober. The pseudocorms are fleshy, green and have an elongated cylindrical shape, mostly above the surface and usually upright. There are several lines a year. Evergreen and leaves remain for two years. The base of the leaf becomes a leaf sheath and wraps the pseudo-bulb stem, and the leaf blade has about 2-3 sheets at the tip of the stem, and is elliptical and slightly distorted. The tip is sharp and the leaf surface is soft and dents along the veins. Although these leaves are alternating, they appear close to each other because they are close to each other at the tips of the pseudocorms. However, it does n’t look like it ’s really like life, but it ’s slightly different in size and often comes out in three. The flower stem rises from between the leaves, is about 30 cm high, and has a total of about 3-10 flowers. The flowers are less than 1 cm in length, and the whole is purple-brown and slightly shiny. The side petals are thin and warped, and the lip is round and the center protrudes forward.
