Paphiopedilum godefroyae (God.-Leb.) Stein, Orchideenbuch: 468.1892.
Cypripedium godefroyae God.-Leb. in Orchidophile 1883: 830. 1883.
Distribution: S Thailand. Note : One variant known under this species is recognized ; white flower variant f.album Gruss ( 2002 ).
Paphiopedilum thaianum Iamwiriyakul ( Orchid Rev.114 : 278.2006 ) is native to Thailand. Its flowers white, but sepals and petals near the base, especially the back of the base with purple red stripes ; degenerative stamens often have green to yellowish green veins in the center. This plant is similar to Paphiopedilum Goodale, especially its albino form ; it is also similar to P. niveum, but to a lesser extent. It is best seen as a variant of Good or Snow White, or as a natural hybrid between the two. But further research is necessary. |
