Bulbophyllum johnsonii
A small, creeping Bulbophyllum from the ranges of north-east Queensland. Its flattened pseudobulbs, 14–18 mm long, each carry one tough, dark green leaf, and its single flowers, 7–10 mm long, have a lip that is red at the base and yellow at the tip. It grows on trees, shrubs and rocks in rainforest and open forest, mostly at higher altitudes (median about 1000 m) between Cedar Bay and the Paluma Range. It is an intermediate-to-cool grower suited to a mount.
Where it grows wild
It grows on trees, shrubs and rocks in upland rainforest and the adjoining open forest of the Wet Tropics ranges and tablelands, in humid, often misty sites with good air movement.
42 records give 10–1293 m, median 1000 m. Most are on the ranges and tablelands above about 700 m, and very low records are uncommon.
