Bulbophyllum shepherdii, commonly known as the wheat-leaf rope orchid, is an epiphytic or lithophytic orchid native to eastern Australia. It forms a dense mat of branching rhizomes pressed against the surface on which it grows, with pseudobulbs well spaced along the rhizome, each with a single egg-shaped leaf and a single small, white or cream-coloured flower with yellow tips. It grows on trees and rocks in rainforest and wet forest between Nambour in Queensland and Bega in New South Wales. It was first formally described in 1859 by Ferdinand von Mueller and the specific epithet honours Thomas William Shepherd who collected the type specimen.
