    This vendor is knowingly selling divisions of Bulbophyllum membranaceum misrepresented as Bulbophyllum cernuum, a much rarer species. He has been alerted about the incorrect ID by two members of OI who bought plants from him, yet still continues to list the plants.

    It's Flea-Bay. Very Buyer beware.
    If you're not SURE what it is, beware.
    Lotta scammers out there.

    Nice catch, Chris!

    He cannot change the title of the current listing but could at least change the description where he states that it IS Bulbophyllum cernuum. I didn't pay much for it so I'm not too disappointed.
