Paphiopedilum vejvarutianum

A rarely recorded slipper orchid described in 2003 and listed for Thailand and Vietnam. Nothing beyond the description has been published that could be reached, so the profile leans on the seasonal tropical climate of the region and on the habits of Indochinese mottled-leaf slippers.

Where it grows wild

Undocumented; Indochinese mottled-leaf slippers typically grow in leaf litter or on mossy rocks in shaded evergreen forest.

Unknown; the climate placeholders sit at 70–120 m, which is probably lower than the real habitat.
