Bulbophyllum lophoglottis

A pseudobulbous epiphytic Bulbophyllum endemic to New Caledonia. Wikipedia describes it from Mt Ouin in the south-east, and specimen records add Mt Dzumac and the Pouébo area in the north, at roughly 750–1000 m. These are humid mountain forests with warm summers and cool winter nights, so it suits intermediate conditions with steady moisture.
