Common Name Binnendijk's Bulbophyllum [Dutch Botanist in Indonesia late 1800's]
Flower Size 4" [10 cm]
Found in Java and Borneo in moss forests at elevations around 1000 to 1400 meters on rotting logs and in areas rich in humus with large laterally compressed, cylindric pseudobulbs that carry a single, apical, oblong, bluntly tapered, petiolate, large leaf that blooms in the spring on a 6 to 8" [15 to 20 cm] long, several [8 to 12] flowered inflorescence that holds the fetid smelling flowers beneath the leaf.
This species and B viridescens are said to be synomonous but there are several differences so I have left them separate for now.
Synonyms Bulbophyllum ericssonii Kraenzl. 1893; Cirrhopetalum leopardinum Teijsm. & Binn. 1862
