This new species is close to Bulbophyllum taeniophyllum in sharing pseudobulbs closely spaced along the rhizome, leathery leaf, entire dorsal sepal, toothed petals, the lateral edges of lateral sepals connate, fleshy lip, but it differs from the latter in having roots arising from the node with pseudobulb, inflorescence much shorter than leaf, flowers in clean yellow, lip mobile, stelidia broadly triangular.
