13. Bulbophyllum "Section 13"
中华组 zhong hua zu
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 arising near pseudobulbs, solitary, 1-flowered or a ± subumbellate raceme. Pedicel with basal node ± coinciding with attachment of subtending bract. Sepals 3-7-veined; dorsal sepal with margins glabrous to erose or denticulate (with glandular appendages in Bulbophyllum chondriophorum, ciliolate in B. bicolor), lateral sepals twisted inward near base, with upper margins approaching or meeting and connate, with margins glabrous. Petals: margins glabrous, erose to denticulate (with glandular appendages in B. chondriophorum), 1-3-veined; lip: margins without auricles or lateral lobes, margins otherwise ± glabrous (ciliate in B. gongshanense), adaxially ± glabrous (hirsute in B. gongshanense). Column: stigma not protruding at its base, foot distinct; anther: front margin projecting or not, abaxially with or without a low, rounded crest; pollinia 4, inner ca. 1/2 as long as outer or longer, all without appendages.
Twenty-six provisionally accepted species: India to Indochina, Java to the Philippines; ten species (five endemic) in China.
