Bulbophyllum dunstervillei
A rarely collected Bulbophyllum known from the Sierra de Lema in Bolívar, south-eastern Venezuela, where it was found as an epiphyte in tall forest at about 1200–1400 m on the road from El Dorado to Santa Elena de Uairén. Almost nothing is published about it beyond the specimens, so these conditions are generalised from that cloud-forest locality: intermediate temperatures, high humidity and bright shade.
Where it grows wild
A herbarium label from the type area records it as an epiphyte in tall forest. The Sierra de Lema escarpment at that altitude carries wet, often misty montane forest on the edge of the Guayana Highlands.
The one specimen with an altitude was collected at 1200–1400 m, around km 137–140 of the El Dorado to Santa Elena de Uairén road.
