A remarkable species allied to Bulbophyllum grandifiorum, Blume, 
and B. tonigis sepclum, Rolfe, though with the lateral sepals united into 
a single organ, like the dorsal sepal in shape but rather smaller. It has 
the habit and general appearance of the former, but, in addition to the 
character just pointed out, it has considerably smaller flowers. The 
collector describes the flowers as purple with white spots.
