Bulbophyllum deceptum is not unlike B. mindanaense Ames in 

 general aspect, and is a near ally of the Bornean B. elatius Ridl. 

 B. mindanaense is a more robust plant, with longer, stouter scapes, 

 larger leaves, and a much thicker rhizome. The lateral sepals of 

 B. mindanaense are much blunter, and at the base much broader 

 than those of B. deceptum.
