Bulbophyllum abbreviatum Rchb.f 1881 | |
Bulbophyllum abbreviatum is a species of orchid in the genus Bulbophyllum discovered in Madagascar and originally described by German botanist Rudolf Schlechter,[3] from material collected by French botanist H. Perrier de la Bâthie in February 1912, which is now kept in the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris.[4]
The plant is a pseudobulb epiphyte.
Cirrhopetalum abbreviatum
According to Seidenfadden this is a different species from Cirrhopetalum abbreviatum Rchb.f 1881,[5] however other sources disagree, notably the Conference of the Parties to CITES and associated Plants and Nomenclature Committees.[2]
According to the Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families,[6] Cirrhopetalum abbreviatum is a synonym of Bulbophyllum trigonopus, of which Bulbophyllum abbreviatum (Rchb.f.) Rchb.f. ex Seidenf. as used in Dansk Bot. Ark. 29(1): 73 (1973) is a nomen illegitimum. This is not accepted by the Kew World Checklist of Monocotyledons Database and the World Checklist of Seed Plants 3.
