Also featured in the September issue is the second half of a beautifully illustrated article on Paphiopedilum fairrieanum and its hybrids, a feature article authored by Piotr Tuczapski about his work with Lepanthes - fungal relationships in the Monteverde Reserve, Costa Rica and an article on the discovery of Paphiopedilum helenae by Olaf Gruss and Leonid Averyanov.
