Paph. superbiens fma. sanderae

[DirGo]

I got this as a superbiens division from a plant that has been in collection for decades at a Belgian nursery.
My feeling says it is an "original type" superbiens fma. sanderae, but I know the challenges within the "superbiens complex": Paph. superbiens var. curtisii fma. sanderae? / Paph. curtisii fma. sanderae? / Paph. superbiens fma. sanderae? "Original" or "Rediscovered" superbiens? ... I give in.




Now let the taxonomic fireworks begin I'm happy to watch it from the sidelines... I just wanted to share the pictures.

Very nice, i have a division from popow, flower was the same.Some said to be hybrid, it was before rediscovery of original superbiens.

Dirk, I think your feeling says it right .... very beautiful flower and kudos to the grower.

Very nice both. I’m curious what Xavier will say on these.

my initial thought was goultenianum

I think gouthenianum is different, but this is just my opinion.Here are goult ad superbiens, from net.First is superbiens, second is goult album

The nursery where I got it from also had Goultenianum, Maudiae, Alma Gevaert... in albino form and most of their species ancestors in color form, so I am certain we can exclude those as possibilities.
