Micranthum is really small, delenatii is small, most of the parvis are small

Micranthum is really small, delenatii is small, most of the parvis are small

Even though the name "micranthum" implies small, I wouldn't consider the flowers to be small! In fact it has one of the largest pouches of any Paph. species! The funny thing is that when this species was originally named, they were naming/describing it based on a mis-formed/mis-shaped flower which did not have it's typical pouch, so it had an unusual small flower, and that is why it got the name "micranthum".
