Bulbophyllum blepharochilum

A minute epiphytic Bulbophyllum described by Garay in 1999 from a plant from Cameroon grown at the University of Vienna botanic garden; there is no wild locality. It has four-angled ovoid pseudobulbs with a single small leaf and short two-flowered inflorescences of fleshy flowers with a fringed lip, in late spring. Nothing is recorded about its habitat, so everything below is an estimate for a small Cameroonian forest bulbophyllum.
