Current pic was taken from the live collections from Saranda Forest in Jharkhand. This is currently the only Bulbophyllum that is found wild in Jharkhand restricted to the Singhbhum area. Would like to know about its distribution in India? Is it restricted to Jharkhand only? No this is found downwards but not upwards. My main intention of sharing both was, they both look like brothers, yes they are so different. Even B. crassipes was once variety of B. careyanum. Downwards means towards south from Jharkhand :)
