Bulbophyllum treschii

A miniature cool-growing Bulbophyllum of section Plumata, described by Rudolf Jenny in 2012 from cultivated plants said to come from Malaysia at 1,000 to 1,500 m. It resembles B. plumatum but has wrinkled sepals and a shorter, more heavily spotted lip, and carries a pendent spray of about four long, feathery flowers in summer. Almost nothing is recorded about it in the wild, so treat it as a Malayan highland epiphyte.

Where it grows wild

Known only from the type description: an epiphyte from Malaysia with no precise locality. Plants at 1,000 to 1,500 m in the Malay Peninsula grow in lower montane evergreen forest, which is mossy, cloudy and humid for much of the year.

Reported at 1,000 to 1,500 m; no herbarium elevations are available.
