It is my pleasure to present few more images of Bulbophyllum mysorense (Orchidaceae) Habit: Herb Habitat: Wild, epiphytic, Evergreen forest fringe Sighting: Devaramane, Chikmagalur, Karnataka, about 1200 msl Date: 20-07-2016 Is it possible for you to take a picture with the scale? Very nice. I am forwarding a close up image of the flowers as desired by you. I will revisit the plant shortly and get images with a scale and forward the same. Ok sir. I can see the difference now. Lateral petals in yours have entire margin mine doesn’t. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the illustration …, noted for guidance. Saw your images of B.levinei in the efl page….Amazing indeed and what a striking resemblance to B.mysorense unless you have a discerning eye. Read that B.levinei is distributed from S.China to Vietnam. Is it found in Peninsular India…?? Kindly enlighten me so that I can look for it. Family: Orchidaceae Liked the 4th one most. Very nice pics. Thanks a lot for sharing. Yes the fourth image really helps a lot in identification for bulbophyllums apart from the whole plant body. . 486-16-03-2021-5-Bul
