They produce short, slender stems along creeping rhizomes, each stem having a single, lance-shaped to obovate, dark green leaf. The flowers are borne singly or in erect, or more usually pendent, arching racemes. The sepals are fused into wide, star-shaped cups, with the free parts of the sepals like long "tails". The lip has a short claw and a cup (or pouched blade).
