Paphiopedilum agusii : a new species from Central Java in Indonesia

The flower of this species is apparently similar to P. argus (Rchb.f.) Stein and <I>P. javanicum (Reinw. ex Lindl.)Stein but differs from P. javanicum by a wider dorsal sepal (largely ovate and not elliptic), oblong petals (not narrowly oblong), a subcircular staminode (not reniform).

This new species was described in ' The Internet Orchid Species Photo Encyclopedia Nomenclature Note ' March 2017 by Dr. William Cavestro.
