Are you looking for the old PhragWeb web site? Use the link in the top right corner of the screen to go there.

Welcome (back).

Let me start by mentioning a couple of new descriptions. A new Paphiopedilum species from Sulawesi, Indonesia has been described on the 1st of July by William Cavestro as Paph. anitanum. (The 5th of July there was a small addendum published with some corrections to this publication.)
And in the beginning of August two new natural hybrids in the genus Phragmipedium, discovered in Colombia, have been described by Guido J. Braem and Eliseo Tesón. They named them Phrag. ×daguense (Phrag. andreettae × Phrag. schlimii) and Phrag. ×narinense (Phrag. anguloi × Phrag. fischeri).

What this web site is concerned I can tell you that I now started to include data of the genus Cypripedium. The list of species is at the moment not without its flaws and still needs some research from my end. What is, as far as I know, complete and correct is the list of their infrageneric hybrids. The hybrid data added is complete up to and including March 2017.
The Phragmipedium infrageneric hybrids also have been updated up to that point.
Also a start has been made adding the infrageneric hybrids of the genus Paphiopedilum. I think that it needs no explaination that this is a major job and will be going on for quite some time before it is done. Please bare with me. I'll get there.

Thank you for visiting.
