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 curtisi var purpureum J.J.Sm. 1933; Cirrhopetalum curtisii Hkr.f 1927; Cirrhopetalum curtisii var. lutescens Garay 1999; Cirrhopetalum curtisii var. purpureum (Ridl.) Garay 1999; Phyllorkis ridleyana (Hook.f.) Kuntze 1891 (red.http://www.orchidspecies.com/foto.flens)
