Subject: [OGD] Paph.vejvarutianum To: orchids@orchidguide.com P. vejverutianum (Paul Phillips) Dear Paul, when you would see the plants especially in bud then yu would understand why the species was described. Thank for the clarification by Tennis Maynard. The plants, which were described as Paph. vejvarutianum came to USA more than 20 years ago as Paph. charlesworthii va. Kanchanaburi. The leaves are similar to Paph. gratrixianum, the bud is the same like charlesworthii and the flower in the end is similar to Paph. barbigerum. Now I have seen more plants and so today I would decide that it is a real distinct variety of Paph. barbigerum. It is not the same like Paph. rhizomatosum, but very similar in the flower and different in the growth. The correct name would also not be Paph. rhizomatosum because the same plants were described earlier as natural hybrid, Paph. x areeanum. Nowerdays it would be better to see it also as a variety. To Pauls words about the commercial interests. When these plants were described there exist no commercial interest. The describer did and do not sell plants and did not get any money for the description. On the other side these plants are not so beautiful or so rare that there will be payed a lot of money for. I have seen plants in flower in Europe and USA for 15 $.
