I bought it unflowered as Bulb. biflorum. But after blooming, it turns out it's not Bulb. biflorum. After comparing pics at IOSPE it looks similar to Bulb. lepidum.
Chirropetalum Lepidum. Themiddle petal somehow is in a strange position, almost like a cap, but it should be in line with the others. See how the front has 2 gaps on either side? That petal should fit in their some how. I would not force it, knowing how "crunchy" some of these bulbos. can be.
Is Cirrhopetalum the old genus name for Bulbophyllum?
