Bulbophyllum analamazoatrae

A Madagascan epiphytic Bulbophyllum of section Elasmotopus, listed as Near Threatened, from the humid forests east of the central plateau. Most records come from the mid-elevation forests around Andasibe and Moramanga, so it wants intermediate temperatures, shade and constant moisture rather than lowland heat.
