Paphiopedilum trungkienii

A Brachypetalum slipper from Vietnam, first described as a variety of Paphiopedilum concolor and raised to species in 2019. Like the concolor group it is expected to be a lithophyte of limestone karst, wanting warm days, bright shade and a slightly drier, cooler winter.

Where it grows wild
