Paph gratrixanum or villosum?

[Meeski]

We had our first Paph flower open last week. The pot is labelled gratrixianum and we took it to our local meeting the other night and were told the it may be labelled incorrectly as it looked more like villosum.
It does differ from photos I found of gratrixianum which appears to have lines of dots rather than lines on the dorsal.
So is it actually labelled incorrectly? And if so do we just change the label.

can you show a better focussed, less close up?
IMHO could be gratrixianum.

He means a smaller picture. I have a large monitor and it barely fits.

It might be natural hybrid
villosum x spicerianum

No, This is a straight Paph. villosum to me.

It doesn't look like your classic villosum to me. This whole group has become so complicated it is hard to say.

Looks like villosum to me, but a bit lighter than the one
I have.

I have to fall in with the villosum crowd, but I like the plant and flower regardless.

Thanks all. It is lighter than the villosums I have seen so maybe it is just a variance as it is from a seedling
