    Abstract

    This report presents the first natural hybrid of Bulbophyllum in Taiwan. Bulbophyllum ×omerumbellatum T.P. Lin shows some features similar to those of either purported parental species, viz., B. umbellatum and B. omerandrum, but most features are intermediate. A full description, photographs, line drawings, occurrence, ecology, and comparison of morphological characters among Bulbophyllum ×omerumbellatum and its parental species are presented.
