I got the plant from Ratcliffe. Maybe I should contact Paul Phillips and see if he still agrees that it is philippinense.
Paph. philippinense -- another one

Dot, the yellow bit is the pollen but it also appears to have a piece of extra tissue there as well. There is pollen but sides, same area.

Very nice Dot.
Given none of the main Paph taxonomists recognise laevegatum, it's a phillipinense from a scientific point of view. But then I know that most Paph growers are splitters and hence wouldn't accept this.
The petals are a lot redder than my laevagatum form (which is in high bud at the moment). But like mine, the plant is small and compact and the spike is short. So I'd say it is possible. But it is still a phillipinense.

I'm putting it in the Saginaw Valley OS show this weekend. It will be interesting if the Judges have anything to say about it.Very nice Dot.

Very pretty.
What's the leaf span of this plant?
I have a very compact plant labeled as roebelinii that came from Bob Fallon's collection. I have yet to see blooms on this plant yet (maybe this spring). It's less than have the size of my other roebelinii's, and smaller than my standard phili.
Maybe it's the infamous palawanense !?!

Rick, the longest leaf is 7.5" -- and the plant has multiple growths. It's really quite small for a multifloral.
