Watergal, there are about 50 species of Phaius plus some hybrids so your best bet is to track back via the knowledgeable plantwoman.

Interesting. There are only about half a dozen sold anywhere in the US that I could find. You guys are lucky!

Unfortunately, knowledgeable plantwoman couldn't track down the plant tag and is now recovering from surgery so I'm not going to bother her.

watergal, I think you'll just have to wait till it blooms to determine which Phaius you have. After checking on Jay's site it seems that all of the Phaius species are large.

best to wait until she has recovered
there are, as mentioned above, so many species and hybrids of phaius, and all so easy to aquire, even in the US.
I have several here some are large plants, some are smaller.
I know some of the yellow, white and orange flowering species and hybrids are smaller, but some of the same colored flowering types are very large too
if you know the cross, if it's not a species, that will help out greatly

Depends on how dwarf "dwarf" is supposed to be; in this case probably a matter of perspective. Also, whether you even know if it's a species or hybrid. As an indoor grower, what immediately jumps to mind is that there's only one "miniature-compact" species - Phaius flava aka minor, and I don't think much has been done in terms of breeding with it.

Once you get past that, there really is a big variation and "dwarf" isn't a word that springs to mind except maybe by comparison to a rhododendron. LOL To my mind, Phaicalanthe Kryptonite gets to be a huge plant when fully mature, so looking like it doesn't bode especially well for it being a "small" plant. But until it flowers, you really have no hope of identifying it - even the first new growths wouldn't be fair evidence of its "true" size much less its identity.

Thanks for the help. I'll let you know if I ever figure it out.

My guess is your plant has not been getting enough light and possibly not enough water. I've seen phaius "dwarf" size but still growing, albeit slowly, and blooming, albeit not well. A neighbor and I have been having this same debate for months. She's finally come around and conceded that mine growing in full afternoon sun, although the leaves look awful, is much healthier than hers, that is growing in her potting shed in an eastern window and frankly slowly dying. It's also a "dwarf" compared to mine. Granted, the true parentage of these plants, including yours, is up in the air, but most phaius are large. They also need tons of water when actively growing.
