Bulbophyllum muscohaerens

A small, moss-dwelling Bulbophyllum of section Oxysepala from the montane moss forests of northern Borneo, named for its habit of clinging to moss. It is known from only a few collections on Kinabalu and the Crocker Range and the Sabah–Sarawak border ridges. It needs cool, constantly wet, mossy conditions; little is published about it.

Where it grows wild

An epiphyte in moss forest on ridges, creeping through moss cushions on trunks and branches. One label describes moss forest on a west-facing slope over sandstone and shale on the ridge of Gunung Alab.

No GBIF record has an elevation; the ridges and moss forests where it was collected lie at roughly 1200–1900 m.
