Bulbophyllum abbreviatum is a species of orchid in the genus Bulbophyllum discovered in Madagascar and originally described by German botanist Rudolf Schlechter,[3] from material collected by French botanist H. Perrier de la Bâthie in 1912, which is now kept in the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris.[4]

According to Seidenfadden this is a different species from Cirrhopetalum abbreviatum Rchb.f 1881,[5] however other sources disagree, notably the Conference of the Parties to CITES and associated Plants and Nomenclature Committees.[2]
