Notes:

• Cribb postulates that this taxon is a natural hybrid between Paph. bullenianum var. celebesense and Paph. javanicum.  However, it seems to have closer affinities to Paph. mastersianum than Paph. javanicum.  A natural hybrid between Paph. bullenianum and Paph. mastersianum seems a definite possibility.  A cytological examination would go a long way in placing this taxon.
