| Origin | Bolivia, Brazil? |
| Plant description | The leaves are heavy and sprawling can grow up to 49 cm on stems up to 37 cm tall and are somewhat upright or arching. |
| Growing | The plant is said to be collected in Rio de Janeiro, on rocks near the sea. I have a few plants, they look different, and all seem to be difficult to get the root system starts after divide. |
| Blooming Season | Definitely in June and July for plants in cultivation. |
| Flower size and shape | The sepals measure 0.5 cm wide and 5.5 cm long, petals are narrower and a little shorter, and the lip is 2.5 cm wide and 3.5-4.0 cm long. Lip is broadly oval to almost square, with the upper third or half wider than the rest of the blade. |
| Colors and fragrance | The flowers are described as yellow flush, specially on the petals, which are also faintly mottled with brown-purple, particularly the dorsal sepal (helful in indentify this species). |
| Comments | This species is often confused with B. perrinii, and often sold under that name. There are two reliable factors I think, that could perhaps separate the two; the B. tuberculata has mottled brown color on sepals, and its flowers have NO FRAGRANCE, night or day, from Dr. Withner's observations. |
B. tuberculata
- This clone has 2 CCM awards. Funny enough I do have problem
rooting this plant when I got it. Everything on the flowers is
curved backward and twisted, very interesting display when you
have a specimen in bloom I envision.
