Paphiopedilum petchleungianum

A natural hybrid slipper orchid described by Gruss in 2001 from China, with no wild records in GBIF. Its parents are not given in the sources consulted here; treat it like the Chinese limestone Paphiopedilum it presumably descends from: shaded, moist in summer, cool and drier in winter.
