Green Pearls Orchid is a mini-miniature sized, tree-dwelling or occasional rock-dwelling orchid with very small, wrinkled, round or ovoid, glossy green pseudobulbs in clusters with a single, tiny, erect, fleshy, oblong-elliptic, pointed, leaf with a stalkless base. The leaf falls off eventually. The plant blooms generally after leaf-fall on an erect to nearly erect, basal, laterally, 2 cm long, single flowered inflorescence holding the flowers above the leaf. The flowers are very tiny, 1 mm across, orange zebra-striped. Green Pearls Orchid is found at elevations of 200-800 m, from Central Nepal to NE India and Indo-China. Flowering: July-September.
