Olaf,

This one is a hybrid with leuco, not straight leuco. BUT I'm glad you chimed in because I've posed this question several times in other threads and no one has said for sure.

So, is it 100% true that ALL leucochilum have spotless pouches??? (I know leuco=white, chilum= lip).

It is my interpretation that this is true.

We see lots of pictures of "leucochilum", particularly from Asia, that are fabulous things BUT have mildly to extremely spotty pouches. As far as I know they are a man-made hybrid swarm of godefroyae and leucochilum in various combinations. Since leuco is a form/variety of godefroyae, they're basically godefroyae, not leucochilum.
