Claude,

Hmm, very interesting. Does the Syn. stand for "synonym"?

Phal philippinensis certainly seems to result in a lot more search results
in google. Also, http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~fk8t-tnk/q-phi.htm for example
seems to confirm Rod's statement about phal philippinensis being a natural
hybrid of Phal.amabilis var.aphrodite X Phal.schilleriana -- and this site
even mentions the alternative name, spelling it "leucorhoda" though. Many
sites however just list phal philippinensis as a species phal.

I wonder whether there is debate about this being a natural hybrid or a
separate species, or whether those who identify this as a species just do so
to simplify the description?
