Hong´s Index for assessment of cypripedium alba Form (copyright)
1/- Staminodes : without red pigmentation = 20 P.
2/- Labellum : without red pigmentation = 20 P.
3/- dorsal sepal : without red pigmentation = 20 P.
4/- Petal : without red pigmentation = 20 P.
5/- lateral sepal : without red pigmentation = 20 P.
to summarize = 100 P. = plants with albinism genes
My definition for Alba forms: a plant whose flowers can be green, yellow or white , or a combination all three , but devoid of any red pigmentation.
Example:
Cypripedium reginae
1/- Staminodes : without red pigmentation = 20 P.
