It is not matching with the available recorded species. It would be great if ... can provide a specimen of this. This is an interesting Bulbophyllum species.

As noted by ..., a specimen is required for any decisive comment on its identification. it is Bulbophyllum fuscopurpureum This is as simple as Bulbophyllum fuscopurpureum.... Very commonly known to give shoot and flower at the same time. All Trias, Sunipia, Ione etc are now Bulbophyllum and ofcourse Bulbophyllums are well known from Karnataka. Thanks a lot for sharing. Sometimes it better to have some patience and wait for the flower to open. |
