Hi Kevin.
As usual, you are on the ball; again, I use the common mistake of calling it Var.
According to Braem & Chiron in their publication "Paphiopedilum,” it is not listed.
But they said there is about 20 variants are published but about 11 of them without any illustration or description.
Only one, the true albino described as forma immaculatum
I suppose, as this is not a scientific site, one get a bit lazy in looking up the names proper and just write what is written on the labels by the nurseries. (They are the lazy ones).
Best of luck.
Cheerio
Ron
