A member of the Zygopetalum alliance with soft leaves and a sympodial fan-like growth habit, this species can be found throughout much of South America and, in particular, the Amazon basin.
Each inflorescence produces a white flower with small petals and sepals and a large white lip with dark violet purple striations marking the throat.
Typically blooms in fall/winter, though may bloom at any time of year. Lush foliage makes this a gorgeous houseplant throughout the year, with or without flowers.
