Did everyone notice that the one hybrid had 3 sepals? That made it
even more odd.

On the legal side, Dr. Tanaka's web site also documents the results of a
cross between Phrag besseae X Paph malipoense.

Or, it documents the results of what is claimed to be a cross between
P. besseae and P. malipoense. As Dr. Tanaka points out, the flower
strongly resembles a cochlopetalum paph hybrid, and the pouch does not
have any characteristics of either purported parent. Perhaps a mixup
in the flasking lab?

The other hybrid looks a bit more promising, but it will probably
require DNA testing to be sure.
