Bulbophyllum corolliferum J.J.Sm. 1917
Bulbophyllum corolliferum J.J.Sm. 1917
Found
in the Philippines?, Thailand, Vietnam?, Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo,
India? and Singapore in the lowlands on mangroves as a miniature to
small sized, hot growing epiphyte requiring light shade and high
humidity. It has garlic shaped, shortly
ovoid, irregularily 4 to 5 sided, truncate pseudobulbs with a single,
apical, oblanceolate, obtuse and emarginate, tapered below to a shortly
petiolate leaf that blooms in the fall on a basal, slender, reddish, 4.4
to 5.6" [11 to 14 cm cm] long inflorescence with several [8 to 10]
flowers held in an umbel beneath the leaf. Often cited as Cirrhopetalum
curtisii but I am going with Comber on this one and if Bulbophyllum is
going to be used then B corolliferum has precedence. Synonyms
Bulbophyllum curtisi [Hkr.f] J.J.Sm not Ridley 1912; Bulbophyllum
