Common Name The Small Flowered Genyorchis
Found in Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon and Gabon in rainforests, mangroves and lowland forests at elevations of sealevel to 1400 meters as a small sized, hot to warm growing epiphyte with ovoid or oblong, 4 angled pseudobulbs arising from a woody rhizome and carrying 2, spreading, oblong-elliptic, apically bilobed, fleshy or leathery leaves that blooms on a 2" [5 cm] long, basal, several flowered, racemose inflorescence. This species as Genyorchis pumila and Bulbophyllum pumilum are confused by many authorities and B pumilum is said to be a syn of Genyorchis pumila but the former has two leaves and is red flowered while the latter is single leafed and most often green or white flowered. Since Schlechter made his accepted genus have Genyorchis pumila as the type and he erroneously assumed that D pumilum was the basionym the name was invalid and has become Genyorchis apetala and it is now the type species of the genus and B apetala Lindley is the Basionym.
