Description
Paphiopedilum philippinense-compact is a smaller form of this multifloral species. This species has many natural forms as it is spread over many islands. Populations become isolated and local variations become stable forms that differ from the standard type. Some are recognized as varieties, others are just unique but are still considered to be the same species.
This form of the species is very compact growing, making it ideal for folks who love multiflorals but have limited space.
