vejvarutianum

[Bjorn]

Do not know why this one has got status as species, to me it looks as if it is an oversized barbigerum. Well, also coccineum has that status, perhaps both should be lumped to varieties of barbigerum?

With cocineum, note the vejvarutianum is twice as big - actually more of a difference that the picture shows.

they do look very similar

A P.coccineum on steroïds ? (4N). However it's beautiful.

If the flowers of vejvarutianum are twice as big as the flowers of coccineum, are the leaves twice as long too?

Not sure, but Prof. Braem's latest edition of Paphiopedilum just got published, so hit him up and get a copy. Sure it will give specifics in there!

Very nice. I think vejvarutianum is a coccineum variety. If I remember well- but maybe not- the most important difference was when it was described as distinct species is its thicker rhizome.

Lovely blooms Bjorn, but do stick to plants I can pronounce
and maybe spell.

The plant is rather diminutive, the leaves would go as a barbigerum. But this is a flaskling flowering the first time so size may change in future.

Nice flowers, both. They sure do look related!
