Bulbophyllum pandanetorum

In September 1925, the first sample of B. pandanetorum were collected, twice, in Gabon. They were both found in the Ngounyé River region; the first specimen was located near Kembélé, and the second, along the River Dévèla. Both were attached to Pandanus trees, and so the botanist's choice of specific epithet.
