Cirrhopetalum abbreviatum

According to Seidenfadden this is a different species from Cirrhopetalum abbreviatum Rchb.f 1881,[5] however other sources disagree, notably the Conference of the Parties to CITES and associated Plants and Nomenclature Committees.[2]

According to the Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families,[6] Cirrhopetalum abbreviatum is a synonym of Bulbophyllum trigonopus, of which Bulbophyllum abbreviatum (Rchb.f.) Rchb.f. ex Seidenf. as used in Dansk Bot. Ark. 29(1): 73 (1973) is a nomen illegitimum. This is not accepted by the Kew World Checklist of Monocotyledons Database and the World Checklist of Seed Plants 3.
