Description
Octomeria doucetteana is caespitose, 6.5–10.6 centimetres (2.6–4.2 in) tall, and is presumed to be an epiphyte. The stem is 3.5–4.5 centimetres (1.4–1.8 in) long, and around 1.5 millimetres (0.059 in) wide. The leaves are narrowly elliptical, fleshy, 3–4.5 centimetres (1.2–1.8 in) long, and 6.8–6.9 millimetres (0.27–0.27 in) wide. The inflorescence is a fascicle with one to three flowers. The inflorescence stem is around 0.5 millimetres (0.020 in) long. The flower stem is around 1 millimetre (0.039 in) long. The flowers are resupinate. The dorsal sepal is around 3.2 millimetres (0.13 in) long, around 1.9 millimetres (0.075 in) wide, oblong-ovate or triangular, translucent, yellow, and suffused with peach at the tip. The lateral sepals are oblong, translucent, yellow, and suffused with purple and brown. The lateral sepals are around 3.7 millimetres (0.15 in) long, and around 1.7 millimetres (0.067 in) wide. The petals are oblong-lanceolate, around 3.3 millimetres (0.13 in) long, around 1.6 millimetres (0.063 in) wide, and have a similar colour to the sepals. The lip is yellow and purple, around 1.7 millimetres (0.067 in) long, around 1.2 millimetres (0.047 in) wide, and has three lobes. The column is cream, around 1.3 millimetres (0.051 in) long, and around 0.5 millimetres (0.020 in) wide. Octomeria doucetteana is similar to Octomeria portillae.
