Bulbophyllum bifarium, also known as two-sided bulbophyllum, is a plant species in the Orchidaceae family that is native to Cameroon. It typically grows in subtropical or tropical moist forests, at elevations between 800 and 1,800 meters. However, due to habitat loss, it is now threatened and may be extinct in some areas. It was first described in 1864 by Joseph Dalton Hooker and is found in a land area of over 2,000 square km. Some areas where it has been collected include the Douala to Bimbia road, Mount Kupe, and Mount Cameroon. The main threat to this species is the clearing of forests for small-holder farms and plantations, but some populations in higher elevations are still thriving.
