pak sheikh's Bulb.?
Hi pak sheikh, I've got two names for your Bulb. sp. 1st is Bulb purpurascens and the 2nd is Bulb. nutans both are valid names. I'm tending to put Bulb. purpurascens on it but maybe someone else can add to this. Both species are close in flower shape but Bulb. nutans has smaller rounder bulbs. Hope this helps.
Pawpaw
Bulbophyllum purpurascens
Agree with pawpaw, widely distributed in Thailand, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java and Borneo. B.nutans has small round psuedobulbs, B.purpurescens has ovoid psuedobubulbs 1.2cm long. The epitaph purpurescens, is for the fleshy bluntly rounded leaves up to 5-9cm long and 2-3cm long; which are purple, especially underneath when young. Better grown on a mount to appreciate the abundance of flowers.
