This epiphytic herb was spotted in Baba Budan giri region of Chikmagalur (Karnataka). Bulbophyllum sp Could you send some clear photographs of the Bulbophyllum species? It is not matching with the available recorded species. It would be great if … can provide a specimen of this. This is an interesting Bulbophyllum species. For the first time in this genus (species with single leaf) I am observing simultaneous development of pseudobulb and inflorescence. In fact this phenomenon is quite unusual in the genus Bulbophyllum. But the nature and texture of leaf and pseudobulb at once guide to genus Bulbophyllum. The allied genera like Trias, Mastigion, Ione, Sunipia etc. need to be explored. Apart from Trias, none of the above mentioned allied genera are reported from Karnataka.
As noted by …, a specimen is required for any decisive comment on its identification. it is Bulbophyllum fuscopurpureum This is as simple as Bulbophyllum fuscopurpureum…. Very commonly known to give shoot and flower at the same time. All Trias, Sunipia, Ione etc are now Bulbophyllum and ofcourse Bulbophyllums are well known from Karnataka.
Thanks a lot for sharing.
Sometimes it better to have some patience and wait for the flower to open. .
Very nice Bulbophyllum fuscopurpureum and Dendrobium herbaceum.
