Bulbophyllum flavofimbriatum
Endemic to Borneo; Section Epicrianthes. Similar to B.cheiropetalum, but they differ in the size of the flowers (12mm acoss to the tips of the lateral sepals), the shape of the lip and the number of appendages on the very small petals.
Add on, I've decided to attached an image of the plant to show the hanging growth pattern also to compare sizes with the smaller plant of B.cheiropetalum (the two leaves directly below and in front of the flavofimbriatum flowers. It might be difficult to compare the difference in leaf size because the smaller plant is closer to the camera.

flavofimbriatum
Hi Pak, I've been doing further research on this species and it looks like it is going to be made a synonym of B.cheiropetalum. But I have these two species and the flavofimbriatum is half as large again as the other.
So B.cheiropetalum is to be found at Gunang Jerai, Kedah, Malaya, and Bukit Fraser at 1000-1350m and at Semangkok, Selangor.
