Common Name Pahudi's Bulbophyllum
Flower Size 2" [5 cm]
Found in Java at elevations of 850 to 1200 meters as a medium sized, hot to warm growing epiphyte on tree trunks or scrambling terrestrial from very wet areas that has large, oblong pseudobulbs carrying a single, apical, narrowing below into the v-channeled petiolate base leaf that blooms in the spring on a 4" [20 cm] long inflorescence with several [12], large, showy, malodorous flowers held in an umbel.
Several references cite this species as B carinatum but it has been used previously by Lindley and Naves for a plant that is now in Dendrobium and so that name is invalid.
