Bulbophyllum resupinatum

A West and Central African epiphytic Bulbophyllum from lowland evergreen forest, ranging from Ivory Coast and Ghana to Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, the Gulf of Guinea islands and Congo. Published species-level habitat detail is scarce, so the targets here are a warm, humid lowland-forest regime typical of the region's epiphytic bulbophyllums.

Where it grows wild

Epiphyte on trees in lowland evergreen forest; for var. filiforme the habitat is given as subtropical or tropical dry and lowland evergreen forest. Beyond that, no specific microhabitat notes were found.

No elevation data were found; the forest types named are lowland, so it is probably mostly below about 1,000 m.
