The stripes in the dorsal are superb.
Isn't white halo distinctive feature of liemianum??
Looking at this picture, I thought it was a hybrid of liemianum and chamberlainianum.
The foliage is more distinctive characteristic than the (variable) white halo. Glaucous as in dull grayish or powdery dusted which this plant is very type specific. I also think I have pics of flowers from this plant with no halo too
Leimianum on the other hand has purple striping under the dark shiny leaves. The halo in liemianum is also highly variable to non existent.
This group is messy that way. and I don't see the point of making hybrids within this group because it makes the matter even worse.
Glaucophyllum is the one I have hard time to tell apart from others in the group. Moquettianum, chamberlainianum, victoria-mariae, liemianum all seem quite distinctive to me.
Thank you for the comparison shots Rick. Mine was mislabeled and I've been a tad confused for quite a while.
I can see from your photos that mine is definitely glauc, not
