Bulbo longibrachiatum

[Ron-NY]

This species hails from China and Vietnam. When I received it it was labeled Bulbo purpureifolium but longibrachiatum is the accepted name.
The flowers are a little over 1" long.

Good one -- I like the petals, especially. With a configuration like that, I would have guessed it was a Cirr.

I would have guessed it was a Cirr.

Are there any Cirrhos left???...most, if not all have been moved into Bulbophyllum and are in the Section Cirrhopetalum ...this is the case with this one.

I guess I've not been keeping up with all these changes.

being that Bulbos are my obsession...I try to keep up with this genus...I can't keep up with all the rest of them.

I hope you retire soon. There is a great need for a good Bulbo book.
