Bulbophyllum plumatum is a species of orchid in the genus Bulbophyllum.[1]
Description
[edit]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
[edit]It is found in Malaysia, Sumatra and the Philippines in swamp forests at elevations around 1,000 to 1,500 meters.
Taxonomy
[edit]Bulbophyllum plumatum discovered in 1913 by Oakes Ames on the island of Mindanao, Philippines, which was later described in Orchidaceae in 1915.[3] The plant was later found in West Sumatera by E. Jacobson and was described by J.J. Smith as Dendrobium jacobsonii in 1935, which was later determined to be a synonym.[4]
