Bulbophyllum ankylochele is a species of orchid in the genus Bulbophyllum. This orchid species is native to the New Guinea and is known for its small size and beautiful, intricate flowers.[2] The scientific name "ankylochele" comes from the Greek words "ankylos," meaning "bent," and "cheilos," meaning "lip," referring to the lip of the flower that is bent downwards.
