Bulbophyllum ankaratranum is a species of orchid in the genus Bulbophyllum found in Madagascar.
Orchids are plants that belong to the family Orchidaceae, a diverse and widespread group of flowering plants with blooms that are often colourful and fragrant.
Bulbophyllum is a genus of mostly epiphytic and lithophytic orchids in the family Orchidaceae. It is the largest genus in the orchid family and one of the largest genera of flowering plants with more than 2,000 species, exceeded in number only by Astragalus. These orchids are found in diverse habitats throughout most of the warmer parts of the world including Africa, southern Asia, Latin America, the West Indies, and various islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Orchids in this genus have thread-like or fibrous roots that creep over the surface of trees or rocks or hang from branches. The stem is divided into a rhizome and a pseudobulb, a feature that distinguished this genus from Dendrobium. There is usually only a single leaf at the top of the pseudobulb and from one to many flowers are arranged along an unbranched flowering stem that arises from the base of the pseudobulb. Several attempts have been made to separate Bulbophyllum into smaller genera, but most have not been accepted by the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families.
Bulbophyllum biflorum is a species of orchid. This species was found in Java, Sumatra, Bali, Borneo, the Philippines, and the Thai and Malaysian peninsula. The flower size is 7.5 cm long.
Bulbophyllum abbrevilabium, also known as the short-lipped bulbophyllum, is a warm-growing species of orchid in the genus Bulbophyllum. It is found in the Southeast Asian countries Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. It bears a flower about eight millimetres wide. Akin to the majority of orchid species, it is a pseudobulb epiphyte, and is typically found hanging from tree branches.
