Common Name Eberhardt's Bulbophyllum

Flower Size

Found in Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and southern China at elevations of 1000 to 1500 meters as a cool growing epiphyte.

CAUTION Many sources cite this orchid as a synonym of B picturatum but I feel that it should stand separate, but I await better references.
