Comments: Parent plant: This species is thought to be native to Borneo. According to Norito Hasegawa and Harold Koopowitz, the plant I grow is a division of the original Paphiopedilum stonei var. latifolium 'Ruth Kennedy' awarded an AM/AOS in 1981. Now known as Paph. platyphyllum. Purchased at an AOS auction in 2003. Medium-sized plant.
