Phyllorkis guttulata is an orchid species identified by (Hook.f.) Kuntze in 1891. Culture information and photos for this orchid are commonly detailed under the currently accepted name of Bulbophyllum guttulatum.
ORIGIN: Found in the Xizang Province of China, western Himalayas, Assam, eastern Himalayas, Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, Myanmar and Vietnam at elevations of 800 to 2600 meters.
DESCRIPTION: Small sized, warm to cold growing epiphyte with .4 to .8 between each ovoid, erect, green pseudobulb carrying a single, apical, oblanceolate, obtuse, minutely retuse apically, gradually narrowing below into the channeled petiolate base and blooms on a slender, basal, lateral, 6 to 8 [15 to 20 cm] long, purple umbellate inflorescence occurring in the summer and fall with a few flowers held just above the leaves. A hot growing epiphyte that needs partial shade, good air movement and high humidity for good growth.
