Bulbophyllum hodgsonii

A poorly known Bulbophyllum described by M.R. Henderson from the Malay Peninsula and placed in section Macrocaulia. GBIF holds a single record, from Malaysia, with its coordinates hidden, so nothing about its habitat is measured. The conditions below are generalised from Peninsular Malaysian forest epiphytes and should be treated as a starting point only.
