A showy species from China, in the same group as P callosum and grown under the same conditions. Paphiopedilum purpuratum likes a small pot with well drained media and kept just damp.
A cooler growing spot may be beneficial, the mottled foliage is quite attractive and should be protected from excess unlight.
