Bulbophyllum torajarum

A Sulawesi Bulbophyllum described in 2008 and named after the Toraja people of the island's central highlands. There are no geo-referenced records, so these conditions combine a lowland stand-in climate with the cooler highland setting its name suggests: intermediate, humid and shaded.

Where it grows wild

Presumably an epiphyte in humid hill or montane forest in the Toraja region of Sulawesi; the habitat is not described in the sources we could open.

Unknown. The Toraja highlands lie mostly between about 700 and 1800 m, while the measured stand-in point is at 495 m.
