Bulbophyllum porphyrostachys is a species of plant in the Orchidaceae family. It is found in Cameroon, the Republic of the Congo, and Nigeria.[1] It was botanically described in 1951.[2]
Although the distribution of B. porphyrostachys is widespread; from Southern Nigeria (in Okuma, Sapoba and Usonigbe Forest Reserves, and in Calabar) to Cameroon (specifically on Mount Cameroon) and Congo-Brazzaville; it is found only sporadically, as either an epiphyte, or a lithophyte (on lava rock). It has not been observed as the latter recently (1995 survey).[1]
