Bulbophyllum aberrans

A rarely recorded Bulbophyllum described by Schlechter in 1911, known from Borneo and Sulawesi and listed in some checklists for Peninsular Malaysia and the Nicobar Islands. There is only one georeferenced record (interior Sabah) and no published habitat notes we could find, so treat it like other warm-to-intermediate Malesian epiphytic Bulbophyllum.

Where it grows wild

No habitat description was available. It is presumed to be an epiphyte of humid tropical forest, as are almost all Bulbophyllum from this region.

No elevation data. The single Sabah record lies in hilly country near the Crocker Range, in a grid cell averaging about 600 m.
