Bulbophyllum simondii

An obscure epiphytic Bulbophyllum described by Gagnepain from Vietnam and known to checklists only from that country. No wild occurrence records, habitat notes or elevations are published in the sources we could open, so these conditions are generalised from Vietnamese forest bulbophyllums: warm to intermediate, humid, shaded, with a drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Presumed to grow as a pseudobulbous epiphyte on trees in evergreen forest, as most Vietnamese Bulbophyllum do. Its actual forest type is not documented in the sources we could reach.

Unknown; no specimen with an elevation is available. Most Vietnamese Bulbophyllum grow between the lowlands and about 1500 m.
