Bulbophyllum geniculiferum

Thank you both for your interest and kind comments. Eric I will attach a further image to this post showing a bulb and leaf, if not successful I will submit a new image in'Create Content'.

Zach, B. scyphochilus (Sec:Scaphochilus) and B.geniculiferum (Sec:Coelochilus) look very similar, but they are two seperate species.

In his monumental work 'The Orchidaceae of German New Guinea' R.Schlechter mentions that Coelochilus is related closely to Scaphochylus especially in the structure of the column, which is footless or nearly so. This is also true of another closely related section Hapalochilus with a similar column structure.

In these three sections the lip is more often than not immobile and the sepals are reflexed mostly during the hot hours of the day, but afterwards close regularly as the temperature falls. The flowers last only a few days and the peduncles carry a single flower. The most prominent feature of the flowers from these three sections are the flamboyant lips. We have at least one more species B.alticola in this section shown in the Bulbophyllum Photo Gallery.

In B.scyphochilus the lip in outline is ovate lanceolate, obtuse, margins in basal half, boat-like, incurved, in the apical half slightly narrowed. Flower colour violet-red. petals white, anterior half spotted with red. Lip darker violet-red.

In B.geniculiferum the lip is directed outward and forward, near the middle curved upwards with a blunt angle, narrow especially to the apex, verrucose, underneath longitudinally grooved, fleshy and at a third below the apex constricted. Flower colour brown-red.
