(Paphiopedilum leucochilum)

Paphiopedilum leucochilum, (Rolfe) Fowlie 1975 (Kew)

Paphiopedilum leucochilum is a species in the Paphiopedilum genus. This name is accepted name for the species in the family Orchidaceae subfamily Cypripedioideae, . This species is found in W. Pen. Thailand.

Paph. godefroyae and Paph. leucochilum are found in the same areas as Paph. concolor. The three are closely related but these two especially so: the latter was long recognised as a mere variant of the former. They remain problematic taxonomically, with Paph. godefroyae var. leuchochilum treated as a separate species - Paph. leucochilum - for hybrid registration purposes.
