Location: Godawari, Nepal

Date: 18 April 2018

Altitude: 5000 ft.

Habit: Not sure ! It was on a tree trunk in the Botanical Garden !
Bulbophyllum rolfei (Kuntze) Seidenf. ??

But look slight differences:

1. Flower stalk longer compared to images in web.

2. Elevation differ (2000-2600 mt.)

3. Flowering season differ ( Aug-Sep)

The flowers are not in good condition to confirm, but they do look like Bulbophyllum rolfei. It would be nice to see better pics of flowers.

Actually it was located in a cliff location and that is all I could get getting closer to it. And the flowering season is going to be over I guess.
