Description

Bulbophyllum spathulatum (Rolfe ex E.W.Cooper) Seidenf., Bot. Tidsskr. 65: 347, 1970

Basionym: Cirrhopetalum spathulatum Rolfe ex E.W.Cooper, Orchid Rev. 37: 106, 1929.

Heterotypic synonyms: Rhytionanthos bootanense Garay, Hamer & Siegerist, Nord. J . Bot. 14: 639, 1994. Bulbophyllum bootanense C.S.P.Parish & Rchb. f., Trans. Linn. Soc. London 30: 153, 1874. Type:— MYANMAR. Mon State: Mawlamyine District, Parish 293 (holotype: K).

Specimen examined:— SHAN. Unspecified: fide Aung et al. (2020: 67). MON. Mawlamyine District: type.

Distribution:— The eastern Himalayas, northeastern India, southern Myanmar, Thailand, Indochina and southwestern China.

Notes:— Rhytionanthos bootanense is a validly published name since the protologue refers to a previous Latin description and the authors indicate a type. It is erroneously published as a ‘ comb. nov.’ rather than ‘ sp. nov.’. If it is accepted as different from B. spathulatum, then a new name is needed in Bulbophyllum.
