Bulbophyllum annandalei

A small Cirrhopetalum-section Bulbophyllum from the mountains of peninsular Thailand and Malaysia, with conical pseudobulbs each carrying one succulent leaf and short spikes of two to four small yellow flowers. It grows at about 1000 m, so it wants intermediate, humid, airy conditions rather than hot lowland ones. Little else is published about it.

Recorded at about 1000 m.
