Published in : Gard. Chron. 1887(2): 186 (1887).

Distribution : Borneo.

Remarks : Picture taken at Kundasang, Sabah.

Remarks : Thanks to Dr Leslie A Garay for the identification. His comments...

"This is Cirrhopetalum strangularium Rchb.f. The same mistake is made
also in the Orchids of Sarawak. Unfortunately everything is united under C/B longiflorum by the authorities. On the other hand, Cirrh. strangularium is easily identified by the peculiar pattern of spotting on the lateral sepals."

Remarks : RBG, Kew treats this species as synonym to Bulbophyllum pulchrum (N.E.Br.) J.J.Sm., Bull. Jard. Bot. Buitenzorg, II, 8: 27 (1912).
