Bulbophyllum purpureorhachis - Hortus Botanicus, Leiden, NL 7 Mar 2009 04 Leo

Syn. Megaclinium purpureorhachis

Smells a bit like coconut.




Bulbophyllum purpureorhachis - Hortus Botanicus, Leiden, NL 7 Mar 2009 10 Leo

Probably due to their small size, Bulbophyllums have experienced a surge in popularity in the last five or so years, primarily from the terrarium market. Very soon (or very recently), botanists from here in Leiden, and more importantly Vienna, are to publish a new book on Bulbophyllum, including new data from molecular studies. Be prepared for taxonomic changes! The center for Bulbophyllum research has for some time now been Vienna; the best public collection in the world is apparently in Singapore.




Bulbophyllum purpureorhachis - Hortus Botanicus, Leiden, NL 7 Mar 2009 70 Leo

One of the largest Bulbophyllum species, but variable in growth, this is actually quite a small version. Here's a bigger version with a less wide hood: www.flickr.com/photos/54255865@N00/3390747055/in/set-7215...

This is also a CITES II species, but it is considerably more common in cultivation than the previous Bulbophyllum I posted. I see companies offering it for sale in Japan, Australia, Britain, Europe and the USA. At between 30 to 50 US$, it is one of the more expensive species.

It is apparently one of the easier species to grow, not mounted like most Bubophyllums, but simply grown in soil.
