Notes:
Bulbophyllum maxillare, Bulbophyllum blumei and Bulbophyllum masdevalliaceum are considered separate species by most authors, Verm, O'Byrne and Lamb have synonymized them all under Bulbophyllum maxillare. The plant material available to us, which comes from Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia, confirms this classification. We have not yet been able to obtain a plant of this species from Australia.
