5. is from Koh Yoong.

Koh Yoong is near Koh PeePee, quite far from mainland.
Only Paph there is P.godefroyae, not any P.exul nor P.niveum.

P.godefroyae from this island has less spotted under leaves.
Some are found totally green, looks like albino.
But the flowers are still having texture.

Spikes, ovary are also bright green too.

Staminode looks similar as above.

If there is no flower, you never no the plant will be album or not
