I recently purchased a plant labelled Paph. burkii. I can't find anything on the net about this species, but I bought it from a very reputable person. Any ideas what this might be?

Thanks!
 
There's a registered hybrid Paph. Burki which is emersonii x Armeni White. I would guess this is what you have.
 
The name with a picture was published as Paphiopedilum birkii by Lance BIRK 1983 in ‘The Paphiopedilum Growers Manual’: 103;1983. It is a nomen nudum because there was never published a correct name and description.
Also Dr. Jack Fowlie used the name 1984 in The orchid digest without a description.
There are no differences to Paph. callosum var. sublaeve.

Best greetings

Olaf
