Common Name The Caruncule Bulbophyllum
[refers to the outgrowths at the base of the labellum]
Flower Size 3 1/2" [9 cm]
Found only in Sulawesi in primary and remnant forests at elevations of 800 to 900 meters as a medium sized, warm growing epiphyte with ovoid pseudobulbs carrying a single, apical, distinctly petiolate, ellipotic to obtuse leaf that requires light shade and a large pot or mount with a fast draining medium to bloom in the summer on an erect, 18" [45 cm] long, successively many [12] flowering inflorescence with several tubular bracts and carrying fragrant [not good] flowers.
This species is now considered to be a subspecies of B amplibracteatum along with B orthoglossum but I have left them separate as of now.
