Submitted by wellsy on Sun, 22/06/2008 - 17:53
Bulbophyllum orientale Seidenf., Dansk Bot. Ark. 33: 138 (1979).
Distribution: China (S. Yunnan) Thailand, Vietnam
This is a first flowering from a seedling.
Originally submitted as Bulbophyllum allenkerrii. Name edit as per below discussion
B.allenkerrii
Hi Steve, I don't know what this one is , but its not B.allenkerrii which has a smaller and more compact inflorescence and the fewer flowers are practically covered with the bracts, very similar to B.bittnerianum.

unknown for now I guess
Thanks Bernard....I guessed it was not as labelled once I saw the others I added links to.
I'll change the heading to unknown for now I guess.
Regards wellsy
One more question
One more question Bernard.
Would we be able to pin this to any particular section?

B.sp.#1
The first of the 2 images shown is B.orientale from Thailand and Vietnam, which image is of your plant wellsy?
www.orchidspecies your second website ref is not B.allenkerrii neither.

I'm confused - again
Sorry but I'm confused with what you are saying there Bernard?
I think you are saying that neither of the linked to images are B. allenkerrii? Is that what you are saying?

images
I am refering to the 2 images that you posted on this site and saying that the first image is of b.orientale,and am asking which of these two images is your first flowering from seed. I am also saying that the second web link you gave is not B. allenkerrii.

B. allenkerrii web references
I have removed the possible source of confusion from the original post.
The links to the two web references are now posted here
Weblinks:
If you compare the one shown here (hard to see much detail) it is not an exact match to my eye anyway http://www.orchisasia.org/genre/Bulbophyllum/bulbophyllum%20allenkerrii/...
Ditto with this one http://www.orchidspecies.com/bulballenkerrii.htm

images
Lets start again wellsy, lets forget the websites and concentrate on your 2 images the first and largest image is of B.orientale, I am not sure which of these images is your original submission (your first flowering from seed) or are they both of the same plant?
bernabu
same plant
Therein lies the confusion....both the same plant...one is just a detail.
Regards wellsy
good
Then your plant is definitely B. orientale,from Thailand and Vietnam.

Thanks Bernard....sorry
Thanks Bernard....sorry about the confusion.
The detail image was taken on a different day under different light conditions so is rather differently coloured I know.
Regards wellsy
B.orientale
That's ok wellsy, it just goes to show, what a different image can make to identifying a species.
There are 2 sections with this type of infloresence and flowers. The first is Careyana and the other is Racemosae.
