Paphiopedilum venustum (Wall. ex Sims) Pfitzer, Jahrb. Wiss. Bot. 19: 165 (1888).

Distribution: China, Nepal, Assam, NE. Bangladesh

This came to me labelled as Paphiopedilum venustum Var aureum but I believe that varietal name is invalid.

Missed this one the first time around, but thanks to the randum image we now see venustum and it's green-veined lip in full glory.

Possibly, forma Measuresianum. this doesn't seem to be accepted either but known by this for decades.
