I dont have the answer but I'm curious about something you said you live in Vietnam but your location says Germany. Welcome to the forum and nice paphs!

Hi,
yes, i am a student in Germany but I lived in Vietnam. My English is not correct. Excuse me.
Best regards

Thats cool and dont worry your English is fine.

The middle one looks like a bullenianum to me.

I think too, but the paph bullenianum is not from Vietnam. They are from Malaysia..

I reckon #'s 1 & 3 are bullenianum varieties and the middle one is a hybrid, appletonianum x something.

as I said they come from Vietnam not from Import. There are new Paph bullenianum in Vietnam?

Sorry to say but checking the photos available number 3 is P.bullenianum.
Number 1 is very similar to what was known as P. robinsonii now P. bullenianum. Number 2 looks like it has appletonianum in it but is the wrong color. Who ever you got them from has their facts wrong in my opinion.

I live in Vietnam as well, and I can only confirm that those are genuine plants from Viet Nam. I have seen quite a few over the last few days. I wondered myself about bullenianum several times , and I have seen plants that are very, very close to volonteanum, including the leaves. I saw quite a few of those in the minorities, so import/purchase is out of question. They are "real" wild plants.

are there maybe new species in Vietnam? I think the Nr1 the Staminode quite paph.cerverianum and Nr 3 is Paph bullenianum und Nr2 is Paph bullennianum var robinsonii.

Ok, I accept what you say as correct but then those plants need to be sited by a taxonomist and a name varified or given. As you descibe the plants there needs to be some investigation.

To desribe those Orchids is very difficult, I can not desribe alone and the problem is how to take the CITES in Vietnam.

Isn't the last picture an Paph angustifolium the newly discovered paph from vietnam? Here is a link
