I saw this orchid in the 2016 Puerto Rico orchid society show in the Rio Piedras Botanical Garden. This plant has a strange otherworldly look with its large flattened inflorescences on the sides of which the tiny flowers are produced. Given that the flowers were pretty much invisible from a distance, I have to give thanks to the PR Orchid Society which gave me permission to enter the exhibit to give a close up to the tiny flowers. The plant body of this orchid is hardly distinct from many other Bulbophyllum species, but the inflorescences are outstandingly weird looking in a genus where weird infloresences are common. The plant is mounted on a tree fern plaque and is doing well. The massive inflorescences dwarf the plant body and, to the uninitiated, look utterly unorchid like.
