Paphiopedilum Wössner Black Wings (Paph. rothschildianum x Paph. anitum (syn. Paph. adductum)) was originated and registered by F. Glanz in 2009.

Paphiopedilum Wössner Black Wings is a synonym of the Paph. Johanna Burkhart. POWO Kew did not recognize Paph. anitum as a separete species and treat it as syn. of Paph. adductum. However, some experts still consider them as two separate species or at least as Paph. adductum var. Paph. anitum.
