On the German forum orchideenkultur.net I came across a picture of a Paph I've never seen before.

Paph. sugyiamanum

I asked the poster for permission to share it with you all so here it is.

Picture was taken by the user Herbert at a Orchidshow in Vienna Austria.

Guru allready posted in the thread on the German foto with two posts.

One stating that he thinks that it's a synonym for Paph hennisianum.

2nd post adding that there might be something special with this one as it is accepted by kew.

Anyone else know anything about this plant?
 
If it really is from Borneo it would be really hard for it to be a variety of hennisianum ( from Philippines). However lowii and philippinense are both found on Borneo.???

To me it looks more like a screwed up/ semi album dayanum. Or maybe some natural hybrid of dayanum with virens.

In some ways it's kind of like comparing tonsum with braemii.
 
I have one of these that will bloom in a few days or a week, I will post a photo to compare.
 
At any rate it doesn't have much going for it. Maybe after man gets a hold of it and breeds the flaws out!:poke:

I don't see the need, the sepals stance in the picture I posted reminds me of the Bulbophyllum ascochilum I posted in this topic.

And I must say that line breeding can do interesting things with flowers, but as far as I'm concerned it's not required. For me it's just as easy to enjoy slippers in their natural form.
