Awarded As: Bulbophyllum polliculosum
I purchased this as Bulb. polliculosum. Strangely this plant had only one flower per inflorescence, unlike the typical 2 flowers usually shown for the species. Also the dorsal sepals on this plant never reflex as is seen in most other photos.
pseudobulbs are round and flatten, brown some covered in a white crackled. Three pseudobulbs with inflorescences, the largest had two on either side of the previous pseudobulb.
