An exotic looking herbaceous perennial from China with strap-shaped leaves from short stems rising late in the year. The leaves are a pale green with very prominent veining reaching around 20 cms long. The flowers are the main interest being very much orchid-like in appearance. A single large upper petal and two smaller lower petals of a purplish-pink colour. These are borne in loose flower heads often with more than flower present at any one time. We believe this species is from China and would welcome anyone with a confirmation on this!
