TYPE Drawing by © Seidenfaden
Common Name The Simple-Lip Bulbophyllum
Flower Size .4" [1 cm]
Found in Thailand at elevations around 1200 meters as a mini-miniature sized, cool growing epiphyte with close, irregular, globular-oblique pseuodbulbs carrying a single, apical, persistent more than others in the section, many veined, ovate to ovate-elliptic, obtuse gradually narrowing below into the base leaf that blooms on an erect, basal, to .8" [2 cm] long, including the pedicel and ovary, single flowered inflorescence.
The photo says B simplicilabelum but Tripecht is incorrect in his determination, this is B adjungens as there are 5 veins on the lateral sepals and there are petals with a strong red-brown tip and median line as well as the straight shortly hinged lip with the 2 basal ridges, B simplicilabellum has 3 veined lateral sepals and uniform colored petals and a simple tongue-shaped lip with no thickenings or ornamentation
