Bulbophyllum membranaceum Teijsm. & Binn., Ned. Kruidk. Arch. 3: 397 (1855).
This name is accepted.

"Approximately 400 flowers borne singly on a 25cm wide by 60 cm tall pristine plant all around a 10cmx8cmx25cm tall sphagnum moss covered oasis black; rhizome pendulous, branched; pseudobulbs ovoid, unifoliate; leaves cordate; flowers small; dorsal sepal reverse blushed pale pink, yellow-oragne distally, adaxially pale chartreuse, yellow-orange distally; lateral sepals boat shaped, fused, burgundy; petals minute; lip yellow, minute; substance firm; texture waxy; awarded for rarity in cultivation and educational value; species widespread through Indonesia and Malasia at low elevations as a branch or trunk epiphyte ."


I realize I made a mistake it should say Bulbophyllum membranaceum, award 20122650 and 20122649 , has been confirmed to be Bulbophyllum membranaceum by SITF (Nov 2012).
