Bulbophyllum trichorhachis is a species of orchid in the genus Bulbophyllum (Section Section Hybochilus ), which is native to the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia.[2] It was described as a new species in 2003.
B. trichorhachis was described from the discovery of a single plant, found growing as an epiphyte on a medium-sized tree within montane forests in the central part of Sulawesi, and at an altitude of 1,000 metres (3,300 ft).[1]
The holotype of this new species is lodged in the herbarium at Singapore Botanic Gardens (Herb. SING).[3]
