[efloraofindia:339043] Re: Bulbophyllum cylindraceum Wall. ex Lindl.

Sorry, I gave him wrong name by mistake earlier. B. cylindraceum will have large bract before flowers and B. khasyanum will not have. Hence this is khasyanum. It was my mistake earlier. But, now I assume I am correct. I checked the type. Thanks a lot for sharing. Pankaj On Monday, 30 December
