What is the rarest orchid in the world?

It's generally considered to be Paphiopedilum sanderianum or Borneo, but there are orchids with extremely localized habitats and it can be hard to gauge rareness due to human interference.

What is the rarest orchid in the world?
Blood orchid
Reply:no one knows - problably an Amazonan orchid where the only known spesimen was collected only days after it's discovery - this is a link with a question I answered earlier http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/ind...
Reply:The rarest albino variety of the Phal amboinensis 'yellow'. It is also one of the rarest of the Phalaenopsis species that not many, even amongst the expert breeders and the die hard collectors, knew about its existence. This particular Phal amboinensis 'flava' 'David Lim' was discovered about 30 year ago. It has an enormous potential and a good candidate as a stud plant for crossing and hybridizing, producing green and yellow progenies.
