its native range is Laos.

Paphiopedilum rangsuriyanum was described by Olaf Gruss et al in May 2014 based on plant samples grown in Thailand. These plants were purchased by Niwat Rungroang - a Thai gardener - at a Thai market. These plants were obtained from Northern Laos and published in Orchideen Journal - Germany. This is a very beautiful and small-sized comedian orchid, similar to Paphiopedium canii - a new species discovered in North Vietnam in 2010 and also found in Northern Laos.
