Bulbophyllum filiforme is a species of epiphytic plant in the Orchidaceae family, found in Cameroon and Nigeria, where its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry, lowland evergreen forests.[1] It was botanically described in 1895,[2] and is currently threatened by habitat loss due to the clearing of forests for the establishment of plantations and other agricultural ventures.[1] B. filiforme is the basionym for Vermeulen's treatment of it as Bulbophyllum resupinatum var. filiforme (Kraenzl.) J.J.Verm.[3][4]
