Bulbophyllum leucorhodum

Bulbophyllum leucorhodum is a species of orchid in the genus Bulbophyllum. It was described by Schltr. in 1913.[1] The orchid is a small-sized epiphytic orchid native to New Guinea, thrives in range forests at elevations around 1000 meters. Its close-set, conical-cylindrical pseudobulbs support a single, apical, erect, ligulate leaf that is obtuse at the apex and narrows towards the base, forming a subpetiolate structure. This warm to cool-growing orchid blooms in the later fall and winter, producing a single flower on an erect, very short, single-flowered inflorescence.[2]
