ORIGIN/HABITAT: Papua New Guinea. Millar (1978) misidentified and discussed this species as Bulbophyllum fletcherianum Rolfe. She reported its occurrence in Papua New Guinea where it grows in rainforest at up to 1950 ft. (600 m) as well as in several special locations such as cliff faces and rocky outcrops. Vermeulen (1993) reported its occurrence in Central Province but gave no details as to habitat location or elevation.
