Common Name The Narrowly Elliptical Bulbophyllum [refers to the lip]

Flower Size 3/5" [1.5 cm]

Found in Thailand as a small sized, cool to warm growing epiphyte that blooms in the winter, spring with to 10 flowers on an inflorescence.

Cited by some authors to be a synonym of B nigrescens but I feel there are sufficient differences to keep them separate.
