Bulbophyllum abbrevilabium

Short-lipped bulbophyllum

A miniature, warm-growing epiphytic orchid from Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia and Vietnam in section Epicranthes. It forms a hanging rhizome with flattened pseudobulbs pressed against it, each carrying one leaf, and bears single flowers about 8 mm across at the base of the leaf. Little is recorded about its habitat beyond an elevation of about 700 m, so the targets below are for a typical warm, humid Southeast Asian hill-forest epiphyte.

Where it grows wild

A pendant epiphyte hanging from tree branches in forest. The pendulous rhizome means it grows downward from branches rather than creeping along them. No detailed habitat notes are published in the sources checked.

Recorded at around 700 m, in the lower hill-forest zone.
