Dr Garay's exact words reproduced below:-

"I am delighted to see good pictures of this Bulbophyllum. Unfortunately it is not new; it has been described by Ridley from Perak as Bulbophyllum variabile! Incidentally, good color picture of this species also appears in Hortus Botanicus Leiden, Catalogue part 1, Orchidaceae, page 136, No.15 as Bulbophyllum binnendijkii J.J.Sm, of course it is not."
