New Cypripedium species discovered

Well, it's official. Cypripedium singchii has been discribed in SE Yunnan, China. (Whether or not Cyp singchii is Cyp subtropicum, the world may never know.)

Cyp singchii looks sort of like subtropicum might have, according to an illustration done. This picture was captured from the PDF describing the species (linked below).

Now... who has seeds??? Will the Chinese government ever allow seeds to be collected? Who knows!
