" Since 2004, I have gone to the Gaoligong Mountains for some 100 field investigations and found more than 30 new species of Orchidaceae, but not a single wild plant of Paphiopedilum wardii Summerhayes, " said Jin Xiaohua, a researcher from the institute.

“我从 2004 年起前往黎贡山进行了上百次野外调查，当地发现兰科植新种三十多种，但一直没有发现野生的彩云兜兰。”
