The Philippines | Bulbophyllum
Despite already having dozens already found in the Philippines, today's new explorers are still discovering new species of this genera.
Typically an epiphyte, these are mostly found in high altitude forests in the Philippines, especially cloud forests and mossy forests.

Since there are a LOT of species in this genus, even if only for the Philippines, we've divided them in this page per section. You can jump to the section immediately by clicking on the "table of contents" below. Alternatively you can do a CTRL+F or CMD+F, or just scroll down.
Species
SECTION: ALTISCEPTRUM
Rhizome creeping; roots sprouting mainly below pseudobulbs, spreading; new shoots arising from basal node of pseudobulb. Pseudobulbs distinct, apex with 1 leaf. Leaves persistent, thick. Inflorescence solitary, arising near pseudobulbs, an elongate raceme. Pedicel with basal node well above attachment of subtending bract. Sepals free, margins glabrous, adaxially glabrous, 3-veined. Petals: margins erose, 1-veined; lip: margins without auricles or lateral lobes, margins glabrous, adaxially glabrous. Column: stigma not protruding at its base, foot distinctly elongated so as to leave a gap between lower margin of petal and upper of lateral sepal; anther: front margin not projecting, abaxially with a rounded crest; pollinia 4, inner more than 1/2 as long as outer, all without appendages

SECTION: CIRRHOPETALUM
Several botanists have split Bulbophyllum into segregate genera, such as Cirrhopetalum and Mastigion, but others do not believe that such division is justified. These segregate genera are not recognised in Kew’s World Checklist of Monocots, and most authorities now regard Cirrhopetalum as a section of Bulbophyllum and not a genus in its own right.
Generally, species in this section have flowers that are positioned around a central point, umbellate (like an umbrella).
We've put this in its own "genus" section. See: Cirrhopetalum

SECTION: LEOPARDINAE
Rhizome creeping or straggling; roots sprouting mainly below pseudobulbs, spreading; new shoots arising from basal node of pseudobulb. Pseudobulbs distinct, apex with 1 leaf. Leaves persistent, thick. Inflorescences solitary, arising near pseudobulbs, 1-flowered or 2-4-flowered in an elongate or contracted raceme. Pedicel with basal node coinciding with attachment of subtending bract, or no more than 1 × diam. of pedicel above it. Sepals free, ± equal in length or lateral sepals somewhat longer, margins glabrous, 5- or more veined. Petals: margins glabrous to erose, 5- or more veined (3-veined in Bulbophyllum ambrosia); lip with or without antrorse auricles along margins well above its base, margins otherwise glabrous to partly or entirely erose or denticulate, adaxially glabrous to variously verrucose or papillose. Column: stigma not protruding at its base, foot distinct; anther: front margin not or slightly projecting, abaxially with a high, conic crest (a small crest in B. ambrosia); pollinia 4, with or without stipe, inner more than 1/2 as long as outer

SECTION: MONANTHES
Rhizome creeping; roots sprouting mainly below pseudobulbs, spreading; new shoots arising from basal node of pseudobulb. Pseudobulbs distinct, apex with 1 leaf. Leaves persistent, thin to thick. Inflorescences solitary, or clustered on a lateral sympodium, arising near pseudobulbs, 1-flowered. Pedicel with basal node ± coinciding with attachment of subtending bract. Sepals free [lateral sepals often fused along lower margin in extralimital species], ± equally long, margins glabrous, 3-veined. Petals: margins ± glabrous, 1-veined; lip: margins without retrorse auricles on each side of ligament [these often present in extralimital species], with lateral lobes higher up along margins, margins otherwise ± glabrous, adaxially glabrous. Column: stigma not protruding at its base, foot distinct; anther: front margin not or slightly projecting, abaxially with a rounded crest; pollinia 4, inner ca. 1/2 as long as outer, all without appendages

SECTION: STACHYSANTHES
Rhizome creeping or straggling; roots sprouting mainly below pseudobulbs, spreading; new shoots arising from basal node of pseudobulb. Pseudobulbs inconspicuous compared to size of plant, apex with 1 leaf. Leaves persistent, thick. Inflorescence solitary, mostly arising near pseudobulbs, 1-flowered, or an elongate or contracted 2- or 3-flowered raceme. Pedicel with basal node ± coinciding with attachment of subtending bract.
