Bulbophyllum recurvilabre
Bulbophyllum recurvilabre is a small epiphytic orchid endemic to the Philippines, described by Leslie Garay in 1999 from material without a precise wild locality. Almost nothing is published about where or how it grows, so the growing advice here is drawn from warm, humid Philippine Bulbophyllum habitats in general and should be treated as a starting point rather than a species-specific recipe.
Where it grows wild
No habitat notes accompany the known specimens; the two herbarium records in GBIF are both labelled 'without precise locality'. Like most Philippine Bulbophyllum it is presumed to be a creeping epiphyte on trunks and branches in humid lowland to lower montane forest, but this is an inference from the genus, not an observation.
Unknown. No elevation is recorded for any specimen; the recommendations assume a warm lowland to lower-montane (roughly 200-1,000 m) origin, which is typical for the Philippine members of the genus.
