Bulbophyllum moratii
A critically endangered pseudobulbous Bulbophyllum from the forests of northern and north-eastern Madagascar, collected on the Masoala peninsula at about 1000 m. The flowers have a yellow lip, white petals edged in violet, and yellow-pink sepals dotted with violet. Almost nothing is published on its ecology, so these conditions are generalised from Madagascan mid-elevation forest bulbophyllums.
Where it grows wild
An epiphyte with pseudobulbs, growing in forest. Wikipedia describes its habitat as subhumid forest. The herbarium labels read 'en forêt à 1000 m' on Masoala, a very wet region, so its forest is probably humid. It is threatened by illegal collection and logging.
Wikipedia gives 1000–1499 m, and the herbarium specimens were collected at 1000 m near Iaraka on Masoala.
