Bulbophyllum plumatum is a species of orchid in the genus Bulbophyllum.[1]
Bulbophyllum plumatum is a small epiphytic orchid and has 2-3 cm spacing between each obliquely ovoid pseudobulb. Each quadrangular pseudobulb, with concave sides, carries a single apical lanceolate leaf that narrows at the petiolate base. It flowers in a 10 cm long ascending, thin, cylindrical inflorescence, with a thicker apex bearing 4 umbelliform flowers at leaf height.[2]
Distribution
It is found in Malaysia, Sumatra and the Philippines in swamp forests at elevations around 1,000 to 1,500 meters.
