ex-collected definition

So I was just speaking with someone and they mentioned they have ex-collected paph. of a certain species. So what does that mean? Thanks for the help.

I would guess it means it is a division from an originally collected wild plant rather than a plant that was taken from the wild.
But I'm guessing.

Sam from Orchid Inn sells divisions of ex-collected roths, such as 'Borneo' and 'Tokyo Orchid' occasionally

Yep, that's what I thought but wanted confirmation. Once again, thanks for the replies.
