Bulbophyllum

Bulbophyllum henrici.
I imported this Bulbophyllum from Madagascar a few years ago. This my first flowering.

I think it might be Bulbophyllum henrici var rectangulare, can anyone verify this?

Eric, I like your images and congratulations on the flowering of this often difficult group.

If this was my plant I would label it, B.species aff B.henrici. There are so many similar varieties of this also different sizes and different colour forms. I hope the Schlechters drawing I sent will help with ID.

I want to thank Bernard for his help and comments both on OOL and sending Schlechters drawing via email.

A name

With some correspondence with bernabu it was suggested that it would be safe to put Bulb. sp aff henrici on the title for this plant. So I will do the edit until some else can come up with a definite name.

I really enjoyed looking at your pictures. There is so much detail in the wrinkly-looking petals - fantastic job!

Thanks Chris for your comments, it is a very interesting texture on the flowers and I'm very happy to have flowered it.Does anyone else in Australia have this Bulbo in their collection.
I have another Madagascan Bulbo imported at the same time that is also in spike for me now. I will post photos of it as soon as it opens. It is in the bud stage and like the posted here I don't have a name for it so will be asking for help with it.
