alba / albinoid

[dodidoki]

From wiki:
While an organism with complete absence of melanin is called an albino (play /ælˈbaɪnoʊ/ American English,[1] or /ælˈbiːnoʊ/ British English)[2] an organism with only a diminished amount of melanin is described as albinoid.


There are many plants (eg. stonei in a recent thread) cause taxonomical problem, because they are almost pure albas only a few pigmentation they have. They could be called: "albinoid".

Have the plants melanin in organism ?. If not, what are the plants instead of melanin ?

 

[dodidoki]

Replace "melanin" to anthocyanin, red pigment etc.
Furthermore all plants have at least 3 pigments ( exept saprophytes), chlorophyllum a,b and c.

Anyway give name stonei album "formosana" or that exul semialbum, wich you can see in recent threads. You only say "not alba", (anyway "album"), but not semialbum even not pale form. But albinoid.

After your opinion: to organism with only a diminished amount of melanin ( anthocyanin ) is described as albinoid.

I would say all Paphiopedilum are albinoid because they have diminished amount of red pigments.

I thought albanoid was the technical term for 'afraid of being white'
