Is it a species or a hybrid??? Does it exist taxonomically??? Check this...

that's a misspelling

That was my thought or might just be a mistake of the species! I only know an Agraecum called magdalenae...!

The pic is definitely a Phrag, not a Paph, so not Paph Magdalenae. Phrag Magdalene Rose (Eric Young x Beauport) appears to be the closest registered name. I think the vendor is confused.

Oh, my bad! I didn't look close enough. I did another search and the only Phrag that even comes close (namewise) is Magdalene Rose. Any possibility that this orchid is a Magdalene Rose?

Yes.
