Epiphytic Bulbs

I found this website, it lists Clivia as an opportunistic Epiphyte

Jim,
I am MORE than happy with the bulbs I got from you today! I talked my
friend into letting me keep his bulb as well lol!
I do have a Clivia Variegated Daruma that I've been growing in Orchid Bark,
Vermiculite, Perlite, Gypsum a Very small amount a Peat. It has done amazing in
this mix! That's also what I grow my Taccas in and my Worsleya is very similar,
minus the peat! I could see how Clivia could be grown Epiphytic considering the
Fleshy Thick Root!
Are there any other bulbs I am missing for the Epiphytic side?
I've got Worsleya, Hipp. Aulicum, Hipp Calyptratum and I have Pamianthe
Peruviana on the way :) I do have Griffinia Liboniana, is it Epiphytic? I
don't think it is? Or Hipp. Papilio? I think I may have read somewhere that
both of those can be.. I'm not sure If I am making that up tho lol.
