Paph. concolor var. striatum.

Paph. concolor var. striatum in flower, which I acquired several weeks ago in low bud. I personally think that the flower is really cute, and makes me think of a smiling face.

You've got yourself a li'll beauty, there!

Very nice to see. It's good to see this variety making a comeback. Just a few short years ago nobody had it or at least they weren't posting.

Gorgeous flower, congrats. But......to pour some water into the wine Paph. concolor var. striatum isn't an officially described and accepted name. Have a look at http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/search?q=Paphiopedilum+concolor+var.+striatum

Very nice. Thanks for posting the plant. I have one but not so sure about the size of leaves.

For decades I've grown these as P. concolor v. khanburii

Paph. concolor var. striatum isn't an officially described and accepted name

As in so many cases Rudolf might have a point here - strict botanically speaking, the striatums might just be sunk into synonymity with the typical form.

But Kate, do not despair: we all know, what is meant by 'striatum'...and although it might be more precise to talk of a form (instead of a variety) as there are no other major morphological differences than the clearly delineated, middle striation of the dorsal and the petals to set it apart from the typical form, you might be home scot free by adding Hort. to the designation of your plant - meaning that its a hortonomical and not a botanical epithet:
Paph. concolor fma. striatum (Hort.).

'Keine Hexerei, nur Behändigheit' as they say South of the (danish) border!

Jens, thank you very much for your excellent assistance. I couldn't have explained it better.

 

[Guldal]

I couldn't have explained it better.

Much obliged!

Lovely flower, nice lighting on the photos too, especially the first.

Thank you for the correction, I will post as Paph. concolor fma. striatum (Hort.) in the future.

Thank you, I took the photos in the evening sunlight.
