Bulbophyllum sagemuelleri

A small epiphytic orchid described in 2015 and known only from Negros Occidental in the Philippines, placed in section Epicranthes. It is named after Reinhard Sagemüller, father of the Filipino orchid enthusiast Josef Sagemüller. Almost nothing is published on its habitat, so care has to follow the general needs of Philippine Epicranthes: warm, humid, shaded conditions with constant moisture.

Where it grows wild

No habitat details have been published beyond the province. Section Epicranthes species in the Philippines are typically small epiphytes on branches in humid forest, in shade to dappled light.

No elevation has been published. Negros Occidental includes lowlands and mountains up to about 2400 m on Kanlaon, so its altitude and temperature class are unknown.
