Flowers resupinate, horizontal, tubular-campanulate, odorless, dull white overall, sepals and petals with one and two longitudinal, greenish-brown veins, respectively, labellum with bright green to lemon yellow throat and brownish basal channel.
lanuginose), the narrow labellum throat with vertical sides, and proportionately longer, narrower labellum and especially the distal labellum lobe.
There are also three petals but one has been greatly modified into a lip or labellum, which is an extremely complex structure and quite different from the other two sepals (Soon, 1989).
This orchid group is therefore interesting to study quantitatively by describing the shapes of the sepals, petals and labellum of the flower.

The central sepal is modified into the
labellum, which has light and dark fringing on the end, a yellow interior, and dark and light pink stripes deep inside.
Once a bumble bee has entered a flower through the labellum slit, the infolded margins ensure that the sole exit point lies upward, at the labellum base.
Five of the morphological traits were labellum width and length, flower height, stalk length, and the length of the longest leaf.
Osmophores on the lateral sepals are the source of the long-distance pheromonelike attractant, whereas the insectiform labellum serves as a short-range visual and tactile mimic of the flightless female thynnines.
Occasionally, two or more males landed together and fought aggressively for the labellum.
5 wide, pedicel 28-30 mm long; flowers resupinate, 25-28 mm diameter, overall base color of tepals and
labellum yellowish with intense honey-brown continuous blotches or with confluent dark red-chocolate spots resulting in a totally red-brown flower, perianth segments of the right side of the flower spreading at 90[degrees] to the main axis of the flower, thus parallel or subparallel to each other; dorsal sepal concave, orbicular, margins undulate, 7.
This is a bi-coloured species with reddish-purple sepals and petals, and a golden yellow
labellum.
