The sepals are rounded at the tips with tightly rolled edges. The petals are short and round, semi-hard in texture, positioned separately to the left and right of the column, with a pouch at the tip. The lip is small, hanging down without curling, bearing a yuanbao-shaped red spot, green in color with faint pinkish-purple veins. The flower form is spirited and exquisite.
