短序组 duan xu zu
Diphyes sect. Corymbosae Blume, Bijdr. 315. 1825 ["Corymbosia"].
Rhizome creeping or straggling with roots sprouting mainly below pseudobulbs, or rhizome spreading to pendulous, with roots growing backward over or alongside rhizome until they reach substrate; new shoots arising from basal node of pseudobulb. Pseudobulbs distinct, apex with 1 leaf. Leaves persistent, thick. Inflorescences solitary, arising along length of rhizome or near pseudobulbs, with 3 to many flowers in a contracted to subumbellate raceme (an elongate raceme in Bulbophyllum reptans and B. polyrrhizum). Pedicel with base ± coinciding with attachment of subtending bract. Sepals free, margins glabrous, 1-3-veined; lateral sepals ca. as long as dorsal sepal or somewhat longer, not twisted inward near base (twisted inward in B. ledungense). Petals: margins glabrous, 1-3-veined; lip: margins without auricles or lateral lobes, otherwise ± glabrous, adaxially usually glabrous (with glandular hairs in B. odoratissimum). Column: stigma not protruding at its base, foot distinct; anther: front margin not projecting or projecting into a rounded beak, abaxially with or without a rounded crest; pollinia 4, inner more than 1/2 as long as outer, all without appendages.
Seventy-six provisionally accepted species: Himalayas to the Philippines and Sulawesi; 14 species (six endemic) in China.
Bulbophyllum reptans and B. polyrrhizum may not belong here. The first has spiral vessels in its flower parts similar to Continental African species such as B. pumilum (Swartz) Lindley.
