The flowers are arranged in groups of up to three in leaf axils, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long with a cluster of bracts about Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The sepals are Шаблон:Cvt long, the two upper joined in a broad "lip" and the lower three smaller and triangular. The petals are orange with reddish-brown markings, standard petal Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, the wings Шаблон:Cvt long and the keel Шаблон:Cvt long.
