Bulbophyllum medusae, also known as the Medusa orchid, is a type of epiphytic orchid that has a creeping rhizome and a single leaf emerging from each pseudobulb. The flowers are a creamy yellow color and are arranged in clusters of about fifteen at the top of the stem, giving them the appearance of Medusa. The flowers also have an unpleasant odor. This orchid was first described in 1861 by John Lindley and was later renamed by Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach. It is typically found growing on trees in forests at altitudes up to 400 meters in various regions of Southeast Asia.
