According to Mr. Christenson's book Phal amabilis var formosana may be
Phal. aphrodite subsp. formosana and the leaf span tops out at about 20".
There is a lot of name confusion between species in some of these groups,
your plant isn't necessarily labeled incorrectly

Thanks for the info. With a limited growing area, I'm happy mine is a
var formosana. A Phal. amabilis with a 39" leaf span in bloom must be
an impressive sight.
