Surigao refers to two provinces in the island of Mindanao, in the Philippines, Surigao del Norte and Surigao del Sur. Relatively sparsely populated and a bit mountainous, the area is home to probably more undescribed species.

I had referred the ID to Jim Cootes, author of Orchids of the Philippines, because I had acquired them as Bulbophyllum medusae, but at that time I had thought that they were more likely Bulbophyllum vaginatum. Mr Cootes told me that if there are hairs on the inner petals then it is Bulbophyllum surigaense and not vaginatum. The close-up photo shows the hairs.
