Bulbophyllum bariense

An obscure epiphytic orchid in Bulbophyllum section Racemosae, known only from a single type collection made in southern Vietnam ('Ba Ria, Tay Ninh') and described in 1930. Its habitat and flowering time were never recorded, and it may be close to or the same as B. gunnarii. Any growing advice is inferred from the lowland monsoon climate of southern Vietnam and from related racemose Bulbophyllums.

Not recorded. The Ba Ria and Tay Ninh region is mostly below about 300 m, apart from isolated hills such as Nui Ba Den (about 990 m).
