Paph Harrisianum
I have two clones of this old (first) primary hybrid. It is Paph barbatum x Paph villosum, registered in 1869.
I have bloomed G.S.Ball's variety (4N) several times. It is a somewhat slow grower, which is not uncommon for 4N plants. The fans are about the size of an average to large sized Maudiae.
The second plant has much smaller fans (6-8"), and is a better grower, but it has not bloomed till now. I am guessing that the dorsal might roll back a little more as the flower matures.
