It was sold to me as appletonianum but I have my doubts. It looks like the controversial Paph cerveranum. What do you all think? Here it is about a week ago. It doesn't have a "typical" appletonianum staminode.

Hum... this is a hard one. My cerveranum does not have this pouch and its shape did not evolved this way. And stam is different too. Foliage is different too, I will post pics if you want. Can this be individual variation ? I don't know... I haven't seen enough of them in my life to be sure :eek:

Here is a pic that I have posted some week ago :
