Name: Bulbophyllum elevatopunctatum J.J.Sm. 
Synonym: Bulbophyllum vinaceum Ames & C.Schweinf.
Ethymology:elevatopunctatum = raised and spotted — the name derives from the characteristic, relief-like dark spots on the flower’s surface. 
First description: 1920 by the botanist Johannes Jacobus Smith in the “Bulletin du Jardin Botanique de Buitenzorg”.
Origin / Distribution: Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo.
Location / Habitat: This species grows epiphytically in humid tropical primary forests, from lowlands to mid-elevations (approx. 1,000 m). It prefers shady to partially shaded spots on moss-covered branches with consistently high humidity.
Description & Notes: Bulbophyllum elevatopunctatum belongs to section Beccariana and is characterized by its creeping growth habit. The ovoid to oblong pseudobulbs are spaced along the rhizome and each bear a single, leathery leaf with a firm texture.

The flowers reach a size of about 3 cm and are striking for their wine-red to cherry-red coloring. The dark, raised dots that give the species its name lend the flower a distinctive texture. The lip is hinged (typical of the genus) and is often more intensely colored. A warm to intermediate growing environment is recommended. Because of its pronounced rhizome growth, mounting it on cork or bark is ideal, allowing the plant to spread freely over the substrate. Year-round watering combined with rapid drying of the roots is essential for successful cultivation.
