Blunt-Lip Micropera is a small sized, tree-dwelling
orchid with an erect stem enveloped completely by striped,
tubular-adpressed leaf bearing sheaths and carrying several,
linear-oblong, slightly and obliquely bifid apically, stalkless,
jointed leaves. The plant blooms in the late spring and early summer on
a lateral, laxly successively 10-15 flowered raceme, up to 15 cm long.
Flowers are about 1.8 cm, dull dirty rose-colored, with a yellow lip,
which is slipper-shaped. The little lobe at the end of the lip is
fleshy, slightly 3-lobed, and furnished with a singular 2-lobed
channeled appendage. Sepals and petals are linear-oblong, blunt. The
columns is twisted half round. Blunt-Lip Micropera is found from
Central Himalaya to Thailand.
