First description:
Bulbophyllum romyi was described as a distinct species within the genus Bulbophyllum.

Bulbophyllum romyi grows epiphytically in humid tropical forests. The plants grow on branches and tree trunks in conditions with high humidity, good air circulation, and relatively diffuse light.
Description & Notes:
Bulbophyllum romyi is a small, creeping orchid with a slender rhizome and closely spaced pseudobulbs. Each pseudobulb bears a single elongated leaf. The inflorescences emerge near the base of the pseudobulbs and bear small, distinctively shaped flowers.

In cultivation, the species prefers high humidity, warm to moderate temperatures, and bright, indirect light. The substrate should be airy and kept evenly slightly moist, without allowing waterlogging to persist.
