Paphiopedilum dixlerianum

A natural hybrid slipper orchid from Myanmar, described by Braem and Chiron in 2001. Parentage and habitat were not in sources we could reach; the climate points to a monsoon regime with a long, cool, dry winter, so grow it intermediate with a drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Unknown in detail; Burmese Paphiopedilum grow in humus on shaded slopes, rocks or as low epiphytes in monsoon forest.

Not known; the climate site sits at 462 m in the Bago Yoma–Shan foothill region, likely lower than the habitat.
