The plants usually have 2–3, 20–23 cm long and 7–10 cm wide leaves. The 5.8 cm high flowers with an elliptic midlobe and dentate apex of the labellum, which are sequentially produced in groups of 2–3 on a slowly elongating inflorescence, show highly variable floral colouration.[3]

The type specimen was collected in the Rundum area of Sabah,[3] which is reflected in the specific epithet rundumensis.
