Bulbophyllum tseanum was found in Quang Nam Province. It is a new record for the orchid flora of Vietnam. Previously this species was recorded in Hong Kong and Hainan (South-East China). Living specimens were collected in Quang Nam province and flowering successfully in a private garden in Da Lat city, Lam Dong province. Based on morphological characters, B. tseanum is very close to B. lepidum in the plant habit, shape, and color scheme of flowers, but can be distinguished by broadly ovate dorsal sepal, longer lateral sepals, narrow petals with shortly caudate apex, size of stelidia and column wing shape. The description of Vietnamese plants is presented, accompanied by the analytical plate and taxonomic notes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
