Paphiopedilum "virens" 'A', Duplicate Slide 16, made January 1971, roll 197101H8.. Species described in 1894. However, this is almost certainly another example of what Jack Fowlie distinguished as Paph. purpurascens, based on the staminode and other features.
Paphiopedilum "virens" 'A', May 1970, roll 197005H4 slide 6. Species described in 1894. However, this is almost certainly another example of what Jack Fowlie distinguished as Paph. purpurascens, based on the staminode and other features.
Paphiopedilum "virens" 'Hilberg', April 1972, roll 197204H7 slide 9. Species described in 1894. However, the 'Hilberg' cultivar is certainly the one acquired in by Jack Fowlie in 1966 from Torberg Hilberg (Denmark), grown at the Los Angeles State and County Arboretum, and serving for the description of Paph. purpurascens in 1974.
Paphiopedilum "virens", [from] Lim Khe We via Rands, R68J1, October 1968, roll 196810H8 slide 19. The collection number indicates the plant was acquired by Ray Rands in 1968, imported from Java. Species described in 1894. However, this specimen is more likely the form that was later distinguished by Jack Fowlie as Paph. purpurascens, based on the staminode, the drooping petals, and other features.
Paphiopedilum "virens", arboretum (i.e., in the collection of the Los Angeles State and County Arboretum), February 1972, roll 197202H5 slide 1. Species described in 1894. However, this is almost certainly another example of what Jack Fowlie distinguished as Paph. purpurascens, based on the staminode and other features. By 1972, the Arboretum collection included both the "true" Paph. virens (Cryder's #208-A) and a different form that was eventually described as Paph. purpurascens (the 'Hilberg' cultivar).
Paphiopedilum purpurascens, June 1973, roll 197306H12 slide 3. Species described in 1974 from cultivated material received in 1966 (at the time considered Paph. virens 'Hilberg', H66B1) by Jack Fowlie.
Paphiopedilum purpurascens, June 1973, roll 197306H12 slide 4. Species described in 1974 from cultivated material received in 1966 (at the time considered Paph. virens 'Hilberg', H66B1) by Jack Fowlie.
Paphiopedilum purpurascens, November 1974, roll 197411H1 slide 16. Species described in 1974 from cultivated material received in 1966 (at the time considered Paph. virens 'Hilberg', H66B1) by Jack Fowlie.
Paphiopedilum purpurascens, November 1974, roll 197411H1 slide 17. Species described in 1974 from cultivated material received in 1966 (at the time considered Paph. virens 'Hilberg', H66B1) by Jack Fowlie.
