}} Bulbophyllum weinthalii, commonly known as the wax orchid,[2] is a species of epiphytic orchid that forms dense clumps on hoop pine (Araucaria cunninghamii). It has crowded pseudobulbs each with a single thin, leathery, dark green leaf and a single white, green or cream-coloured flower with red or purplish markings. It occurs from south-eastern Queensland to Dorrigo National Park in New South Wales. DescriptionBulbophyllum weinthalii is an epiphytic herb that forms dense clumps with crowded pseudobulbs {{convert|10-20|mm|in|sigfig=2}} long, {{convert|9-14|mm|in|sigfig=2}} wide and covered with a white sheath. Each pseudobulb has a thin, leathery, dark green, narrow elliptic to egg-shaped leaf {{convert|20-30|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long and {{convert|4-9|mm|in|sigfig=2}} wide. There is a single white, green or cream-coloured flower with red or purplish markings, {{convert|5-7|mm|in|sigfig=2}} long and {{convert|15-20|mm|in|sigfig=2}} wide. The sepals and petals are thick, fleshy and waxy. The dorsal sepal is oblong to egg-shaped, {{convert|8-12|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long and {{convert|4-6|mm|in|sigfig=2}} wide. The lateral sepals are triangular, {{convert|9-13|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long, {{convert|8-11|mm|in|sigfig=2}} wide and spread widely apart from each other. The petals are {{convert|6-8|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long, {{convert|3-4|mm|in|sigfig=2}} and curve inwards. The labellum is about {{convert|8|mm|in|sigfig=2}} long, {{convert|5|mm|in|sigfig=1}} wide, thick and fleshy and curved with a groove along its midline. Flowering occurs from March to May.[2][3]Taxonomy and namingBulbophyllum weinthalii was first formally described in 1933 by Richard Sanders Rogers and the description was published in Transactions and proceedings of the Royal Society of South Australia from a specimen collected by "Mr. F.A. Weinthal". The specific epithet (weinthalii) honours the collector of the type specimen.[4][5]There are two subspecies:
Distribution and habitatThe wax orchid grows on the scaly bark on the upper branches of hoop pine in rainforest between the Kroombit Tops National Park in Queensland and the Dorrigo National Park in New South Wales. Subspecies striatum only occurs in the extreme north of the distribution. {{Taxonbar|from=Q4996037}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Bulbophyllum Weinthalii}}References1. ^1 {{WCSP |27747 |Bulbophyllum weinthalii}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book|last1=Jones|first1=David L.|title=A complete guide to native orchids of Australia including the island territories|date=2006|publisher=New Holland|location=Frenchs Forest, N.S.W.|isbn=1877069124|page=433}} 3. ^{{cite web |last1=Weston |first1=Peter H. |title=Bulbophyllum weinthalii |url=http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Bulbophyllum~weinthalii |publisher=Royal Botanic Garden Sydney |accessdate=23 December 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Bulbophyllum weinthalii|url= https://id.biodiversity.org.au/instance/apni/479903|publisher=APNI|accessdate=23 December 2018}} 5. ^{{cite journal |last1=Rogers |first1=Richard Sanders |title=Contributions to the Orchidology of Australia |journal=Journal and Proceedings of the Royal Dociety of South Australia |date=1933 |volume=57 |pages=95–96 |url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/129836#page/113/mode/1up |accessdate=23 December 2018}} 6. ^{{WCSP |27749 |Bulbophyllum weinthalii subsp. weinthalii}} 7. ^{{WCSP |27748 |Bulbophyllum weinthalii subsp. striatum}} 5 : Bulbophyllum|Orchids of New South Wales|Orchids of Queensland|Endemic orchids of Australia|Plants described in 1933 |
