The plant is medium-sized at about 40 cm, with soft, drooping leaves; the flower scape is over a chi in height, and because the leaves are soft and drooping, the flower scape stands above the foliage. The main petal is broad and large, sometimes fused with the side petals into a single petal; the butterfly-transformed parts of the lateral petals are brilliant, with markings arranged in regular linear patterns. The two lateral petals droop downward and are irregularly twisted, looking like a dancing rainbow, hence the name Rainbow Butterfly. Although this butterfly form is a grass butterfly, it has its own endearing qualities and is a rare grass butterfly variety among Cymbidium (Hui) orchids.
