BULBOPHYLLUM PLUMATUM, BULBOPHYLLUM THIURUM AND THE NEW BULBOPHYLLUM TRESCHII

摘要

BULBOPHYLLUM PLUMATUM was described in 1915 by Oakes Ames in Orchidaceae, The Genera and Species of Philippine Orchids. The plant was collected in Mindanao, Philippines in July 1913 by L. Escritor. Ames wrote: "This is an ally of Bulbophyllum ornatissimum and B. collettii, from both of which it is quite distinct. The very odd, feather-like processes on the petals (which are brilliant carmine in color, nearly 2 mm long, and shortly stalked) are found in no other Philippine species. They look exactly like little feathers, or like the divisions of the plumes of Celosia plumose, and are about twenty in number on the upper margin of the inconspicuous petals."
