Default Nobody know phal reichenbachiana then!!!!!!!!!

Olaf Gruss/Manfred Wolff in Phalaenopsis (Ulmer, 1995):

Sweet claims it is synonymous with Phal. kimballiana. Also says it could be
a natural hybrid between fasciata and pallens.

Wallbrunn says it could be a type or subspecies of lueddemanniana.

It is from the Philippines and Mindanao, and belongs in the Zebrinae group,
Lueddemannianae subgroup, along with fasciata, fimbriata, hieroglyphica,
lueddemanniana, pulchra and violacea. This group has the same culture as
most Phals, but the spikes should not be cut, as they rebloom.

Interesting note about lueddemanniana; Gruss/Wolff says the keiki formation
on lueddes comes from too many hours a day of light.

Hope this helps! Sounds pretty vague, in any case.
