This genus encompasses a broad range of primarily epiphytic, sympodial tropical orchids. These plants form clusters of small pseudobulbs that function as reservoirs for water and nutrients. Typically, each pseudobulb supports a single leaf. There are more than 2,000 recognized species within this group.

Bulbophyllum wendlandianum is a compact, epiphytic orchid that thrives in warm to cool conditions. This species features pseudobulbs, which serve as storage structures for water and nutrients, each supporting a single leathery leaf that is green in color. The rhizome measures about 4 cm in length between the pseudobulbs. Flowering occurs from the tips of newly developed pseudobulbs, producing up to seven flowers that open simultaneously in tight clusters. Each flower reaches a length of up to 15 cm, displaying fused red and yellow lateral sepals that hang downwards. The dorsal sepal is short and fringed, forming a "cap" above the central part of the flower.
