Hi
Is Cypripedium daliense = Cypripedium margaritaceum :confused:
 
There are a whole group of cyps in the same group as margariteaceum, and they all look alike to me....amd they are all supposed to be equally difficult to grow. ...Eric
 
hey,

its a little bit difficult with the C. daliense to say, what it "really" is.

No doubt, C. daliense is an unvalid name,
but scientists have different opinions about it.

due to S.C.Chen & Wu it is synonym for C. margaritaceum
http://culturesheet.org/orchidaceae:cypripedium:daliense

but in
"The Genus Cypripedium" P. 262, Cribb describes it to be synonym
of C. lichiangense.

So, think about it what you like,
I am not a botanist or taxonomist.
SO I DONT KNOW WHAT IT REALLY IS

But for me,
the C. lichiangense is the more spectacular species
with the largest flowers from all those in the "group".

best wishes
dieter
