Discovered in the Ya'an region of Sichuan Province, China, it is a mutated crystal-centered translucent dwarf variety of Chun Jian. Roots are thick, without nodes (rings). Leaf color is emerald green, leaf margins show strong and powerful dragon-like ridges, with dragon scales rising and falling; the crystal translucent tissue runs through the center of the leaf. The leaf posture is wondrously and mysteriously varied, the leaf texture is especially solid and thick, the leaf shape is crooked and gracefully varied, the leaves are upright with an abruptly tapering tip, and the undulating, firm-yet-supple, well-spaced leaves fully embody a green antique, truly a green living fossil.
At present, orchid growers have still never seen this plant flower. Among mainland Chinese orchids, Bing Xin Qi Long can be called the outstanding one among strange-leaf varieties; its leaf posture is bizarre and marvelous, and absolutely no second genus can rival it. Thus it has become a Chun Jian dwarf variety artwork possessing all four excellences of "strange leaf," "strange shape," "strange color," and "strange artistry." It not only possesses a certain economic value, but also a certain artistic quality. Its dwarf stature and strange shape, robust and broad leaf posture, deep green cap, crystal-clear, lustrous ice-heart, and spreading rippling waves make it a sacred piece among form-and-artistry orchids.
