Album form of Paphiopedilum
In these days, the album form of Paphiopedilum were described at a stroke. In CAESIANA, Italian Journal of Orchidlogy & Scientific Journal of the European Orchid Council ( EOC ), Mr. Olaf Gruss was described over 50 species of Paphiopedilum album form. In this issue, some album form were described newly and wrote the official name of all species' album form. And, we have to use ' forma ' instead of ' variety ' for album form, we recognized. And for instance, Paph. callosum var. sanderae is not officially but Paph. callosum f. viridiflorum will be used. Now, I'll introduce all of them. But it will takes longer time, I'll show you step by step. Please be patient until they will be completed.
