Bulbophyllum cornu-cervi

An epiphytic Bulbophyllum described by King and Pantling from the Sikkim Himalaya, where it was collected in the warm Teesta-side 'tropical valleys' at around 850 m. It is known from very few specimens, so conditions here are based on that lower-Himalayan monsoon climate: warm and very wet in summer, cooler and dry in winter.

Where it grows wild

Old specimens come from 'Engo (Tropical Valley)' in the Sikkim Himalaya, which points to warm, humid lower-hill forest in deep valleys. Specific host or light notes were not available.

Two georeferenced records are at about 850 m; the original collections were from low 'tropical valley' forest.
