Oh, I found the philippinense 'kakinuma':

IMHO doesn't look like pure roebelinii/phili to me. There's the white ovary (telltale sign of sandie) and also petal twisting looks a bit odd. And I do not think that plant qualifies for 'var. aureum'. Any thoughts?

 

[NYEric]

I prefer the album paph.

IMHO it is just a very ugly sandie.

Is this the cross you're referring to?
Paph. philippinense var. album ('Albino Beauty' AM/AOS x 'Jeanie's Delight' AM/AOS)
We have bloomed a few and some bloomed with full color which is not what we expect. This must be due the background of the albinistic genes. Very nice looking plants!

So until it blooms you don't know what you have, sounds like some will be deleting album from their tags.

No, I was just refering to the albinistic species.
