Bulbophyllum setaceum
A small pseudobulbous epiphytic orchid endemic to the mountains of Taiwan, with two recognised varieties (var. setaceum and var. confragosum). The measured sites are cool, misty montane forest at about 1,300–1,950 m, so it is a cool-growing Bulbophyllum that needs constant humidity and cool winters rather than tropical heat.
Where it grows wild
An epiphyte with small pseudobulbs, growing on trees in the humid mountain forests of central and northern Taiwan. Detailed habitat descriptions were not available, so the microhabitat is inferred from the records and the genus.
Few records carry an elevation; the measured sites lie at about 1,340–1,950 m in the central mountains.
