That is Paph thaianum, described in the last Orchid Review (or maybe the issue before).
A friend of mine was in Thailand recently and said they are available all over the place in the outdoor markets there....

I still find it funny how sternly orchids are enforced when there are many corals on eBay that are just as illegal as kovachii. Many coral people don't realize how illegal they are because they are so common in the hobby and there are no public accounts of peoples houses being raided like there are in the orchid literature. Oddly, proclaiming a coral came from restricted waters is bragging rights on the coral forums and seller's websites.
Oh well...I guess if I wrote a book titled Coral Fever things might change...but why would I want that??

That's easy to answer.... So you will no longer be able to get pretty coral for your tank.Jon in SW Ohio said:

That could certainly be the reason for the damaged edges I suppose.
I'm sure the winner will be interested in the true flower should it bloom again.

Actually, coming from Thailand may speed things up. There have always been CITES problems with Vietnam, which is why their new paphs are still illegal. But Thailand is a major orchid exporting country. Probably the first documented flasks will be legally exportable to the US...divisions even...(of course, it could be even faster if it is labelled "niveum" ...which I am inclined to think it is at first glance...When a country is a major exporter, and a CITES signatory, things go faster...look at Peru....it was relatively fast before kovachii appeared legally....Take care, Eric
