| Paphiopedilum bellatulum |
Paphiopedilum bellatulum is a small, warm to hot growing terrestrial species native to the
Assam area of India, as well as Thailand, Burma and Central and Yunnan China at altitudes of 300 to 1,600 meters.
It occurs in the wild in limestone
cracks and crevices, so is usually in shady conditions. As you would anticipate the crevices often accumulate leaf mold and moss and wil typically be moist yet free-draining. The leaves are
oblong in shape, elliptic, rounded and minutely emarginate apically, mottled dark and
pale green leaves that are purple spots on the underside.
Paphiopedilum bellatulum flowers in the spring and
summer from a short,floral bract
that is about half the length as the ovary that arises from the top center of the leaves
and just clears or touches the leaves.
