Paphiopedilum yingjiangense

A Chinese slipper orchid accepted as a natural hybrid (Paphiopedilum ×yingjiangense), described from Yingjiang County in far western Yunnan near the Myanmar border. Almost nothing is published on its wild conditions, so grow it like the cool-to-intermediate Yunnan slipper orchids it comes from: shaded, humid summers and a cooler, drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Presumed to grow terrestrially in humus pockets in shaded montane broadleaf forest, as do the Yunnan Paphiopedilum species around its type locality; no habitat details are published.

Not recorded; the type area lies roughly between 1,000 and 2,000 m, so treat it as a montane plant.
