It has 2–5 basal, broadly lanceolate, 3–12 centimeters long and 1.5–3.5 centimeters wide, unspotted leaves and 1–4 stem leaves. The flower cluster is cylindrical, 6-15 centimeters long and loosely occupied with 4 to 20 flowers. The bracts are 18-25 mm long and 4-6 mm wide, they are wide-lanceolate, dirty maroon and twisted ovary fitting. The outer lateral bracts are 9-12 millimeters long and 3-4 millimeters wide, obliquely egg-shaped, almost vertical, turned outwards, olive-colored, brownish-red overflowing. The lip is elliptical, 9-12 millimeters long and 8-11 millimeters wide, undivided, with entire margins, notched on the edge, curved backwards on the edges, dark green to red-brown, light in the center and without spots. The spur is 5-7 millimeters long, 3.5-5 millimeters wide, conical and obtuse, directed downwards and about half as long as the ovary.

The chromosome number is 2n = 36.
