Immature villosum bloom or a primary with villosum as one of the parents

 

[Leo Schordje]

That is Paph villosum, I don't think it is a hybrid at all. Just a normal villosum.

Don't ask me I grow Parvis and phrags!

 

[slippertalker]

This is a normal example of Paph villosum which is fairly variable.

I think baodai knows what it is.. He wants us to guess... My pick is (villosum x gratrixianum) or (villosum x helenae)..

 

[Eric Muehlbauer]

Just looks like villosum to me.........................Eric

Paph. villosum var affine?

[paphioboy]

But I thought villosum var affine is not a true variety at all.. isn't it a natural hybrid of villosum and appletonianum..? I have one, and the plant habit doesn't quite resemble villosum...

Looks like what everyone calls "straight villosum" now a days.

This is what I call "straight villosum" which came as a jungle collected plant from Rands back in the 1970s

Hey Pahioboy,

You said:

Can you please post a photo of this plant, ... and the flower if you have one?

Thanks

Also, can you tell us the location it came from?

Ok, Lance but pls give me a few days to dig it out.. It hasn't flowered for me yet.. I got it as a single-growth plant from Hourai Orchids (Malaysia), nursery-raised.. But from my observations, it has narrower leaves that do not curve like villosum, but stand up. The undersides of the leaves (near the base) are dotted purple just like villosum...

TO baodai: that is vilosum var laichau/ Sin ho

Best regards
