Paphiopedilum crossii var. potentianum

[werner.freitag]

I got recently a few potentianums, 3 are blooming
here just the pictures of one of these, they are looking very similar
the leaf pattern is typical for all of them

Very nice. Let's see the others too.

Looks like a callosum with no warts.

It's name is discussed controversally. I know it and KEW Science lists is as Paphiopedilum callosum var. potentianum

Rudolf, I know about the name discussion , I used it on purpose.
First I can follow Guido Braaems arguments, its published and repeated in his new book.
Secondly I wanted to see some opinions of forum friends.
I do understand why there is hesitation to move away from callosum.
