Although I am by now means a taxonomist, in response to Gary Wills inquiry regarding Paph. palawense (not palawanense), Mr. Wills is correct that this term refers to Paph. philippenense. It is simply a nomen nudum for this species.
I also believe that in addition to the misspelling by the E-bay seller, he has confused this plant with Paph. stonei var. latifolium which is no longer classified as a variety of Paph. stonei. Instead, is now known as Paph. platyphyllum (Yukawa ex Gruss) (Die Orchidee; 52(1):84-87; 2001). This is the ONLY species that has been "upgraded" from Paph. stonei in recent years of which I am aware. Perhaps, one of our friendly neighborhood taxonomists can provide more information. Best of luck
