Botanical name: Bulbophyllum tridentatum Family: Orchidaceae (Orchid family)
Three-Toothed Bulb-Leaf Orchid is a medium sized,
tree-dwelling orchid with conical pseudobulbs carrying a single,
apical, linear-lanceshaped leaf that is conduplicate. The plant blooms
in the winter on a 6 cm long, pendant, many flowered inflorescence.
Flowers are borne in a head-like spike and are reddish in color. The
chief-character of this plant consists in the three-pointed petals, a
peculiarity not observed in any other species of the group. The lip in
its shape does not differ very much from that of the allied species,
but here the side-lobes are reduced to a thin transparent border whilst
the middle-lobe consists of the strong fleshy body so common in
Bolbophyllums. Three-Toothed Bulb-Leaf Orchid is found in Arunachal
Pradesh to Thailand.
