Can anyone please clarify whether paph victoria-regina and chamberlainianum are the same species? i have often read that both names are synonymous... but if they are, then how come hybrids made with chamberlainianum and hybrids made with victoria-regina are named differently? i've read somewhere that the flowers of both species are very similar but one has mottled leaves while the other doesn't...is this true?
