Flower size: Small flower. Sepals are less than 1cm each. Spike is wirey and about 6-8cm long.

Plant size: Small clumping plant. Pseudobulbs are 1.5cm tall with leaves of 6cm. It's a light rambler. It doesn't clump, but it also doesn't cover a mount quickly.

Other firsthand observations: Flowers smell pretty bad for being so small. I would say the smell is like condensed dirty sock smell.
