Bulbophyllum absconditum, known as the hidden bulbophyllum, is a species of orchid in the genus Bulbophyllum.[1] It is named the hidden bulbophyllum because of its miniature flower which eludes being found due to camouflage.[2]
It is found in rainforests in Indonesia and certain parts of Oceania such as Vanuatu and New Caledonia.[3] It is a warm-growing epiphyte found in elevations of 900 to 1700 meters.
