Yeah, there were two species that was recently described and came from Aceh. The other species is a barbata type with ruffled dorsal and petals.

For those that don't like Facebook...

Pretty interesting bloom. I like the outstretched petals. Hopefully this is a typical trait for the species.

There is a PIC of this species in its native habitat with down swept petals and a slightly reflected dorsal basally. This may not be a mature flower.

Thanks for posting the picture here.

Very interesting in a good way.
It looks like tonsum mixed with sukhakulii, but then those pink touch at the petal tips! Leaves are also interesting.

Nice and interesting. Do we have a link to the publication that it was published in lieu of a Facefuck screen shot?

 

[paphioboy]

I initially thought it could be a natural hybrid between tonsum and javanicum, but the original poster in Facebook says these grow in rather large natural populations, not just a few plants..

 

[tenman]

Looks like a javanicum hybrid

Just when you think all the Paphs have been discovered!
