Bulbophyllum andohahelense

A Bulbophyllum known from the summit of the Andohahela massif in southeastern Madagascar, collected in ericoid scrub at about 1890 m in 1934. It is known almost only from that collection, so these conditions come from the measured climate and from high-elevation Malagasy Bulbophyllum in general.
