Bulbophyllum grandimesense, commonly known as the pale rope orchid,[2] is a species of epiphytic orchid with well-spaced pseudobulbs and brown bracts arranged along the stems. Each pseudobulb has a single, fleshy, dark green leaf and usually only a single white flower with thread-like tips on the sepals. It grows on rainforest trees in a small area of tropical North Queensland.

Description

Bulbophyllum grandimesense is an epiphytic herb with branching stems {{convert|100-200|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and covered with brown bracts. The pseudobulbs are {{convert|8-12|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long, about {{convert|3|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and well-spaced along the stems. Each pseudobulb has a thick, fleshy, dark green leaf {{convert|15-50|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|3-5|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} wide on a stalk {{convert|4-5|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}}. A single white flower {{convert|6-8|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|5-7|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} wide is borne on a thread-like flowering stem about {{convert|1.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long. The sepals are fleshy, {{convert|8-9|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long, about {{convert|2|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and the petals about {{convert|2.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|1.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The labellum is about {{convert|2.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|1.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide, fleshy and curved. Flowering occurs from May to June.[2][3][4]

Taxonomy and naming

Bulbophyllum grandimesense was first formally described in 1989 by Bruce Gray who published the description in Austrobaileya from a specimen he collected near Rossville.[4][5] The specific epithet (grandimesense) is derived from the Latin word grandis meaning "great"[6]{{rp|461}} and the Spanish word mesa meaning "table",[6]{{rp|779}} referring to the "Big Tableland" near Rossville where this species is found.[4]

Distribution and habitat

The pale rope orchid grows on the upper branches of rainforest trees in the Cedar Bay National Park.[2][3][4]
