Bulbophyllum papulosum

A Philippine endemic Bulbophyllum described by Garay, known from very few wild records; herbarium material from the Vienna botanic garden places it in section Lepidorhiza. The only georeferenced record is from Romblon in the central Philippines, which points to a warm, humid lowland climate, but its microhabitat and altitude are undocumented.

Where it grows wild

No habitat description was available in the sources we could open. Like almost all Philippine Bulbophyllum it is presumed to be an epiphyte of humid forest, probably in the warm lowlands and foothills given the Romblon record.

No elevation is recorded for any specimen; the Romblon record lies on a small island where forest runs from near sea level to a few hundred metres.
