Paphiopedilum helenae forma delicatum

[ORG]

The new form of Paphiopedilum helenae was described at first as a distinct species in China by Liu and Zhang as Paphiopedilum delicatum.
Last month we combined it in 'Die Orchidee', the journal of the German Orchid Society to a new form of Paph. helenae because the difference was only the colour.

I hope that this extraordinary nice clone will be propagated artificially soon.

Does it matter? You can't have one anyway if it's from Vietnam! oke:

Maybe it is better for me that it is from China then.

 

[NYEric]

I agree. BTW What's to stop China from "incorporating" Vietnam like it did to Tibet!

Hallo Olaf,
After Leonid Averyanov Paphiopedilum helenae was found in north Vietnam
After Liu and Zhang Paphiopedilum helenae forma delicatum was found in central Vietnam
between north and central Vietnam is appropriate for 500 km distance, is that possible? :sob:

Leonid is correct to say that it is found in North Vietnam if you looking with the view point of modern Vietnam geographical border. In fact in the future it may be in a province of China, if the current vietnamese government keep gift away their border land to China similar to what they do with their 1999 treatise. The real sad fact is the vietnamese/Chinese border gate (AI NAM QUAN as called by Vietnameses) now is well inside China's territory.

Liu & Zhang is also correct in saying that it is found in central Vietnam , I am sure the two chinese authors have in their minds the land belong to the Viet (or perhaps what used to be the land of the 100 yueh tribes or Viet tribes which is southern half of China today ) during the Trung sisters' uprising AD 12-43 who united 65 cities & strongholds
