Thick Spurred Bulb-Leaf Orchid is an epiphytic orchid found in Eastern
Himalayas, up to altitudes of 2000 m. It is a small sized, cool to warm
growing orchid with conical, smooth pseudobulbs. They carry a single,
apical oblong, obtuse, or shortly mucronate, petiolate and thickly
leathery leaf. The plant blooms on an erect, 15-20 cm long, inflorescence
enveloped with oblong floral bracts and many flowers held next to the
pseudobulb. It is very similar to Bulbophyllum careyanum but differs in
the small stelidia on the column that point forward and the broad "U"
shape of the labellum.
