Bulbophyllum Vaginatum is a plant from Singapore that blooms after heavy rain in hot weather. It has a delicate scent like citrus mixed with a bit of sweetness and lychee. In Java, people boil its fruit to help with earaches.
Researchers at the National University of Singapore found 21 different compounds in Bulbophyllum Vaginatum. Bulbophyllum Vaginatum also has a special molecule called phenanthro(4,3-b)furan. It's not clear if this molecule gives the plant its medicinal benefits. But historically, people from India, China, and Africa have used this orchid to treat problems like coughs and bronchitis. |
