Bulbophyllum dearei.

Originally introduced from the Philppines as Sarcopodium dearii by Colonel Deare after whom it is named – in 1883.  (Gard. Chron.).   H.G. Reichenbach transferred it to Bulbophylum in 1888.

It is also found in Malaysia and Borneo.

 Pseudobulbs are up to 3cm.-(1.25”) long and 1cm.-(.3”) diam. - unifoliate from the apex with a leaf 10-17cm.-(4-6.75”) long and up to 5cm.-(2”) broad;  single flowered inflorescence is a little shorter than the leaves and erect.  Flowers are large for a small plant of an intricate and interesting form, the lip is delicately balanced with a swinging movement as if hung by a spring. 

Intermediate temperature, good light, but not direct sulight, 60% humidity, & good air movement are necessary.   Reduce watering somewhat once new bulbs are fully grown.   Do not enjoy frequent re-potting, best grown in shallow pots or mounted, do not allow to dry out completely.
