Zeuxine rolfeana is a deciduous terrestrial orchid belonging to the subfamily Orchidoideae.

The inflorescence is a spike 2 to 3 in (5 to 8 cm) long with numerous flowers about 0.2 in (5 mm) across.

The lip is longer than the sepals and lateral petals and ends in a pouch or sac.

[2] The publication uses the spelling rolfiana,[3]: 599  although in the introduction to their paper they thank R. A. Rolfe,[3]: 578  and under Art.

60.8(c) of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants,[4] an epithet formed from his name would be expected to have the construction rolfe + ana, which is the spelling published earlier in the paper for the species Oberon rolfeana.
