The basal leaves are stalked and lyre-pinnatifid, that is with a large terminal lobe and smaller lower lobes.

The scales are long, with thick, lateral lobes, and a long terminal lobe.

The simple leaf blades (or if lobed, the terminal lobes) elliptic or lanceolate to oblanceolate or linear in shape.

Their labellum is white showing few colored drawings and narrow terminal lobe, slightly deflected.

The only way to accomplish this is through a conrotatory ring-opening which results in opposite signs for the terminal lobes.

Their leaves are lyre-shaped or toothed pinnate with a terminal lobe which is clearly larger than the side lobes.

The muscles of the palps and the terminal lobes originate within the body of the prementum and consequently lie interior to the labial suture.

The leaves have a very distinctive shape, with three perpendicular terminal lobes, shaped much like a Maltese Cross.

The leaves are deeply pinnately lobed with four to ten small lateral lobes and a large terminal lobe.
