Bulbophyllum praetervisum

[Martin Borneo]

Attached are the photos of Bulbophyllum praetervisum , an overlooked species close to B. Macranthum. Note the photo , flower with the hook between the 2 dorsal sepals. However , B macranthum seems to have it too. The last photo is the handwritten name of the species by Dr. JJ vermeulen.

its hard to tell from pix where the differences are, Dr. JJ Vermeulen should have it described.

Welcome. It's hard. Maybe that's the reason why it was considered as an'overlooked' species because it is very similar to B. macrathum. B. praetervisum described only in 2002. When Dr. vermeulen was with us at the park he only pointed out to us to check on the hook between the 2 dorsal sepals.
