Bulbophyllum erythroglossum
A pseudobulbous epiphytic Bulbophyllum endemic to the humid forests of eastern Madagascar, named for its red lip. It is assessed as critically endangered and possibly extinct in the wild because of forest clearance and illegal collection, so almost nothing is recorded about its biology or cultivation. Treat plants in cultivation as intermediate, humid, shaded epiphytes like other eastern Malagasy Bulbophyllum, and propagate them where possible.
Where it grows wild
Epiphytic in humid evergreen forest in eastern Madagascar; the few herbarium labels cite humid forest on the road from Moramanga to Anosibe and the Viviambe forest near Vondrozo.
Only two GBIF records carry an elevation, both 601 m. The Moramanga–Anosibe forests lie at roughly 600–1000 m.
