Sympodial epiphytes or sometimes lithophytic or terrestrial plants. Rhizomes very short to very long, when young with scale leaves; internodes per sympodium 3 to many. Pseudobulbs consisting of one internode, usually swollen, ranging from very small to quite big, 1- or 2-leaved at the apex (in New Guinea always 1-leaved). Leaves usually persistent, eventually deciduous, glabrous, duplicate, dorsoventrally flattened or rarely terete, leathery or sometimes rather thin-textured; without leaf sheath. Inflorescence usually heteranthous, arising from the base of the pseudobulbs or from nodes or well above nodes on the rhizome, racemose or with a single flower, usually glabrous or papillose, rarely pubescent; rachis when present usually elongated and cane-like, but sometimes (not in New Guinea) swollen into a spindle-shaped body, or widened and bilaterally flattened with flowers either inserted on the flat side or along the edges; floral. bracts appressed to reflexed, caducous or persistent. Flowers very small to very large, sometimes ephemeral, resupinate or not, widely opening or not, opening simultaneous or in succession. Sepals free, rarely adherent, or connate, Lateral sepals when connate either with along their lower margins or twisted at the base and connate with their upper margins; mentum usually chin-like. Petals free, usually very different from the sepals in size and shape as well as in colour. Lip usually swollen, usually highly mobile hinged to the column, but in some species the lip is immobile attached to the column, undivided to 3-lobed, glabrous to papillose to ciliate to vesiculose; margins entire to denticulate to fimbriate; above with or without longitudinal ridges, more rarely with transverse ridges; spur absent. Column usually with 2 stelidia, often below the stelidia winged; column foot distinct or sometimes reduced to a swelling; anther 2-locular; pollinia 2 or 4, the inner 2 equally large or (much) smaller than the outer pair, solid, usually waxy, sometimes hard; caudicles, stipe, hamulus or tegulus rarely present.


World wide tropics, also in South Africa, Japan, New Zealand, in the Pacific east to the Society Islands. About 2200 species; in New Guinea more than 600 species.

In almost all habitats where epiphytic orchids occur. Also on rocks; rarely terrestrial and then mainly at higher altitudes.TE

Various attempts to split up this huge genus into smaller ones have been little more than cherry-picking: taking out (seemingly) well-defined groups, while leaving the bulk of the species untouched. This is unsatisfactory and does not take into account the phylogeny of the genus as a whole. Given how difficult it is to delimit the numerous sections within the genus using morphological characters, we consider it preferable to recognise only one big genus Bulbophyllum. This includes such groups as Cirrhopetalum, Pedilochilus, Saccoglossum, Monosepalum, and others. The article in which these taxa were officially transferred to Bulbophyllum is: Vermeulen, Schuiteman & de Vogel, Nomenclatural changes in Bulbophyllum (Orchidaceae; Epidendroideae), Phytotaxa (2014)166 (2): 101–113
