Common Name The Condense Bulbophyllum [refers to the densely placed leaves]
Flower Size .16" [3 mm]
Found in western New Guinea in low and dense primary forests without elevational data as a mini-miniature sized, warm to cool growing epiphyte with a patent to pendent rhizome giving rise to porrect, distant, cylindrical-obovoid pseudobulbs carrying a single, apical, elliptic to ovate, acute, sessile base leaf that blooms on a porrect, 2 bracted, .68 to .8" [1.7 to 2 cm] long, single flowered inflorescence with a tubular, acute floral bract.
According to J J Vermuellen - "Bulbophyllum condensatum is most similar to B. marginatum Schltr.; it differs in having a callus on the adaxial side of the lip, and tapering, rather than clavate, hairs on the abaxial side. The flowers are dark maroon with cream color at the base of all parts" Vermeulen 2008
