This is the best, most rewarding and most vigorous of the Nomocharis for those growing conditions that do not ideally suit the genus. In conditions that DO suit them, they make very large plants indeed. The outers have the same base colour but in contrast, are broader and unfringed with only light spotting. 60-70 cm tall with neat, small whorls of leaves. Paired leaves clothe thr stem which is crowned with up to 6, widely expanded, saucer-shaped flowers.
Flower colour is slightly variable from pale rose-pink to shell pink.
The petals are spotted purple towards base and are not fimbriate at edges. There is a dark red blotch where the nectary is situated. Widely spread in the wild across Burma and China but very scarce in cultivation. 4 year seedlings.
