Bulbophyllum evrardii
A small creeping epiphytic Bulbophyllum of section Desmosanthes, endemic to the southern and northern highlands of Vietnam and assessed as Endangered. Herbarium labels describe waxy, dark to pale yellow flowers from ravines around Dalat at roughly 1,400 to 1,600 m, so treat it as a cool-to-intermediate montane orchid that wants humid, moving air and a slightly drier winter.
Where it grows wild
Herbarium collections come from forested ravines around Dalat and the Langbian plateau (Lam Dong), from Darlac, and from Tua Vang mountain in Lai Chau in the far north. Several labels mention small ravines and waterfalls, which points to sheltered, humid, shaded gullies within montane evergreen or pine-broadleaf forest. Like other section Desmosanthes species it grows as a creeping epiphyte with small pseudobulbs spaced along a rhizome and umbels of small flowers.
Labelled specimens are from about 1,400 m (Lam Dong) and 1,575 m (Lai Chau); the Dalat plateau collections lie around 1,400 to 1,600 m.
