Garay, Hamer and Siegerist (1994) propose numerous new taxa and combinations in the genus Bulbophyllum . Their opinions are often contradicting those expressed in Vermeulen (1991, 1993a. 1993b). A reason for this can be sought in the different basic principles both authors apply when delimiting species and higher taxonomic entities. Some of the taxa proposed by Garay, Hamer and Siegerist (1994) are analysed, and taxonomic changes are proposed.
