Phragmipedium

Finding

SITF confirms this plant as Phragmipedium cabrejosii (Sep 2025). This plant is an excellent match in size, form, and color to the distinctive species, P. cabrejosii. This plant matches the original description and photos found in the 2019 Phytotaxa article, "New Species of Phragmipedium (Orchidaceae: Cypripedioideae) from Peru" by Pupulin, et. al. Compared with P. caricinum, it is distinguished by a simple inflorescence, an elliptic dorsal sepal, that is apically white, with shorter, apically twisted, pale yellow petals tinged with rose, and a ovate-subrhombic staminodial shield vs. reniform.
