Paphiopedilum sukhakulii
Paphiopedilum sukhakulii is a species of plant in the family Orchidaceae.
True endemic species are often rare, tending to be confined to specific areas. P. sukhakulii is one of these rare species with a very restricted distribution at one small location. P. Sukhakulii is a species of orchid endemic to northeastern Thailand. It grows at heights of 240–1,000 metres (790–3,280 ft) on Mount Phy Luang Mountains in the province of Loei. This orchid grows in leafy sand-clay linens, usually along mountain streams under the shade of large forest trees. Flowering occurs during the warm months of the year.
Paphiopedilum sukhakulii is among the most heavily traded ornamental plants in Thailand. P. sukhakulii is collected for commercial use for horticulture, domestic and international trade.
