LATE EARLY

Common Name The Somewhat Three Lobed Bulbophyllum [refers to the lip shape]

Flower Size

Found in New Guinea in montane forests at elevations of 1200 meters as a mini-miniature to miniature sized, cool growing epiphyte with a subflexuous, cauliform rhizome giving rise to minute, cylindrical pseudobulbs carrying a single, apical, erect-patent, oblong-ligulate, apiculate leaf that blooms in the late fall and early winter on a very short, single flowered inflorescence with cucullate, truncate, as long as the ovary floral bracts

Schlechter states that the flowers are whitish with a golden yellow swelling at the tip of the sepals and a brown lip.
