I have been trying to find a resource that explains the different (subspecies?) of paph philippinense.
I really like the varieties with the long twisty petals, but can't seem to find consistant information on what is what. Most of the roebilini are twisted, but it seems some plain old philippinense are too. And what is the third one (variety laevigatum?)....I can't find any description of how it differs. Are there also differences in plant habit, leaf size, ease of bloom? If I want a plant with the long twisty petals, which variety should I look for?
