They sold me this plant as Paphiopedium philippinense, which it certainly is not. It could be Paphiopedilum Edna Radcliffe???
Thanks

It's setting off my P. wilhelminae alarm but I wouldn't be able to make a suggestion as to what specific hybrid it is. If it's a small growing plant, perhaps it is even the pure species?
I wouldn't rule out P. philippinense in the ancestry, but that tends to increase flower count and petal length, but also has a very strong influence in terms of muddying the pouch color even several generations deep. I'm just not seeing much of that going on here, so in light of the obvious mislabeling and lack of provenance, I'd say odds are very, very slim on that possibility (i.e. Edna Radcliff) guess.
