The red in the staminode. All of the wild collected and cultivated Paph vietnamense I have seen have only had yellow/green staminodes. Google shows a couple of blooms labelled as Paph vietnamense with red in the stami but they are clearly Paph Ho Chi Minh.

The original description is posted in this thread http://www.slippertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22360 . Xavier translated the description in post#6 and I've asked other native French speakers to confirm the description. It seems that many taxonomists didn't bother to reference the...

The original description of P affine says it was a mottle leaved plant, affine was probably a natural hybrid.

I received an email reply from Toshi about 18 months ago so he was still about then. I think Olaf keeps in touch with him. As to why his site hasn't been updated, I have no idea. Mick

Stunning!

I thought the P affine debate was over? Xavier translated the original description of P affine and I asked Dr Braem to confirm a few weeks ago. The translation I received via Dr Braem relating to leaves is. "Leaves 4 to 5, more or less lobed, up to 15 cm long and up to 3 cm wide, more or...

Looking good.

Looking good. Just wondering if the new growths were lacking in K so the original growth took a dive. Joking!
