Paphiopedilum

Finding

SITF confirms this plant as Paphiopedilum coccineum (Aug 2024). This plant matches the form of P. coccineum. The staminode and boss (protuberant part, a round swelling part, a knoblike process) are an excellent match to the photo in Oakley & Braem's Paph Species: The Essential Guide. The light color is not a taxonomically named color form and does not need to be specified in the title.
