I thought this to be a rather ugly flower from original pictures but Olaf has really showed the beauty of parnatanum ! Too bad Eric can't get one of these here either!
The species is really rare in the collections.
It was described 1999 by William Cavestro as Paph. parnatanum. A short time later we published a description of the same species as Paph. usitanum, but we were too late, because we had some problems with the printing of our journal Die Orchidee also when our article was ready for printing in 1998.
