Andaman Eulophia is a deciduous, terrestrial orchid,
with a clumping growth form. Flowers are borne in racemes which
originate from the base of the pseudobulbs. The racemes can grow up to
40 cm long. Flowers have green sepals and petals and are about 3 cm
across. Flower lip is white with a green margin and green or brown
veins. The lip margin is wavy. Flowers are formed during the dry
season. The pseudobulbs carry 6, grass-like, pointed, keeled leaves
with the lower ones smaller than the upper. The pseudobulbs are stout
and elliptical in shape, the leaves drop off at the start of the dry
season. Andaman Eulophia is found in the Andaman Islands, Laos,
Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Sumatra and Malaysia.
