Bert- you have a good point. I think that is the reason that natural hybrids have a different name (at least in some cases) than the man-made hybrids...for example....Paph Greyi is the manmade cross of niveum x godfroyae...yet ang-thong is (according to many, but not all, sources) the natural form of the same hybrid. P. wenshanense is now used for plants that had been labelled conco-bellatulum..I don't know if its still considered to be a hybrid (I believe it is..) but all specimens that I have seen look either a lot like concolor, or a lot like bellatulum...certainly none looked like a 50:50 cross. Take care, Eric Muehlbauer is extraordinarily humid Queens NY....
