Paph callosum, var warnerianum & var thailandense
Var warnerianum was formerly known as var sublaeve. It is smaller than the standard callosum, and it has spots across the petals (vs on the upper edge only for other callosums).
Here it is shown in bloom (freshly open), between two var. thailandense, one that has been open for 2-3 weeks, and another that is freshly open also (on the right).
