Paphiopedilum leeanum

Paphiopedilum × leeanum O.Gruss (2015) is a natural hybrid from Myanmar. Its parentage was not confirmed here, and it should not be confused with the old horticultural grex Leeanum (P. insigne × P. spicerianum). Wild Myanmar Paphiopedilum are mostly hill and limestone plants with a cool, dry winter, and this profile follows that pattern.

Where it grows wild

No habitat data were found. Myanmar Paphiopedilum typically grow in leaf litter on limestone or rocky slopes under monsoon forest, usually well above the lowland measured site.

Unknown. The climate site (about 460 m, Bago Yoma area) is generic; hill sites at 800–1500 m are more typical for the genus in Myanmar.
