Paphiopedilum bullenianum
Paphiopedilum bullenianum is a species of slipper orchid native to equatorial Malesia. Numerous hybrids were successfully cultivated with this species.
P. bullenianum proper is distributed throughout the equatorial part of Malesia, stretching from central Sumatra to the equatorial part of Borneo, where it grows from sea level to 1,850 metres (6,070 ft) of elevation, but typically available in elevations of around 900 metres (3,000 ft), with mean temperature range of 20–22 °C (68–72 °F). The Sulawesi variant is available throughout Sulawesi, together with Seram Island eastward in Maluku, in elevations around 950 metres (3,120 ft).
