About Bulbophyllum exiguum F.Muell.
Bulbophyllum exiguum is a small epiphytic or lithophytic orchid. It produces small, roughly spherical pseudobulbs that are usually 5 to 10 mm long and taper toward the leaf. Each pseudobulb bears a single leaf, which is around 25 to 30 mm long but varies greatly in size. Its small flowers range in color from creamy white to yellow, with sepals that are roughly twice as long as the petals. Flowers grow on a thin stalk that emerges from the base of a pseudobulb (or sometimes from the rhizome between bulbs), and usually holds up to three flowers. Pseudobulbs grow either spaced relatively evenly along the rhizome, or clustered together; clustering is most common in young plants. This species flowers between March and May. It grows on trees and rocks in subtropical to temperate rainforests and sclerophyll forests in Queensland and New South Wales. It often forms dense growths that cover rock faces, tree trunks, or branches. It occurs at elevations up to 1,000 metres (3,300 ft), and requires a hot, shady, humid climate.
