Bulbophyllum fenestratum
A small creeping Cirrhopetalum-type Bulbophyllum from Thailand to western Malesia, with angular pseudobulbs spaced along the rhizome and umbels of 7–15 fragrant, pink-speckled white flowers about 1 cm long. It grows as an epiphyte in rather open, dry primary forest from 100 to 1100 m, and is regarded as more cold-tolerant than most of its section. In cultivation it wants bright shade, good air movement and room to creep.
Where it grows wild
An epiphyte in rather open, relatively dry primary forest. The long rhizome creeps over bark with pseudobulbs spaced 2–16 cm apart, so it naturally occupies branches with fairly good light and air rather than deep, stagnant shade.
Literature gives 100–1100 m. The five wild GBIF records carry almost no elevations; the Thai points lie in the peninsular hills near Nakhon Si Thammarat and the Javan one in the West Java highlands.
