One of the first successful crosses between a multi-flowered and a single-flowered Paphiopedilum, this hybrid was first flowered in 1878. Its parents are Paphiopedilum laevigatum [=P. philippinense] from the Philippines and the Malayan Paphiopedilum barbatum. The hybrid is still in cultivation today.
