Subject: [OGD] Paphiopedilum sangii so-called "forma ayubiianum" Dear Peter, the discussion is really curious. The name var. ayubianum or ayubii was never used officially, it was a working title for a planned description 5 years ago. But we decided to wait with an official description in the hope to get more informations about, perhaps to see also more plants. I don't know who have used the name then for this plant, but it is nothing more then a (trade)name for a perhaps regional form of Paph. sangii. Perhaps in a discussion the name was used but nothing more. When you have doubts about this plant and need more pictures of the plant, then ask me. I could take many pictures of, perhaps then you can decide if it is.
Best greetings from Bavaria Olaf Gruss _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
