LATER

Common Name The Clubbed Bulbophylluum

Flower Size

Found in New Caledonia in montane forests at elevations of 900 to 950 meters as a miniature sized, warm to cool growing epiphyte with squashed, round, red brown, wrinkled, 4 ridged pseudobulbs carrying a single, short, narrowly elliptic, obtuse, gradually narrwoing below into the shortly petiollate base leaf that blooms in the later fall on an erect, 1 to 2 flowered inflorescence.

Said to be a synonym of B argyropus and may well be but I do not have any references that say so. I at least need a flower photo to be able to check against the 2 species.
