It is an epiphytic or lithophytic orchid which forms clumps with flattened pseudobulbs, two to four thin leaves and up to twenty greenish or pale yellow flowers. It grows in rainforest at altitudes above {{convert|600|m|ft|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} in tropical far North Queensland. DescriptionLiparis nugentiae is an epiphytic or lithophytic, clump-forming herb with crowded, dark green to yellowish, flattened overlapping pseudobulbs. There are two to four thin, dark green to yellowish, linear to lance-shaped leaves {{convert|120-300|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|20-30|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. Between eight and twenty greenish or pale yellow flowers, {{convert|13-17|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|8-11|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide are borne on a sometimes arching flowering stem {{convert|150-250|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long. The sepals are {{convert|8-12|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|1.5-2|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and the petals are a similar length but only about {{convert|1|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide.
