leeanum

[Stone]

Wasn't sure where to post this so I put it here.
I have a book which says that P. leeanum was found as a natural hybrid mixed in with bulk importations of insigne and spicerianum back in the early 20th century True or not?

Don't know, but seems possible. However, Leeanum is quite common in Australia and might be newer remakes.

I have a book (Tropical Slipper Orchids, Harold Koopowitz) which says, that the cross (insigne x spicerianum) was made by John Seden, registered in 1884 by Sir Trevor Lawrence.
Maybe nature had the same idea...

Do the species grow together side by side in nature?
