There was a publication back in 1993 that "introduced" (as a nomen
nudum without description) a "P. ehlersiae albiflora". I think _P.
gracilis was not introduced into cultivation before 1994, so the
bogus name must have undergone a double mutation (in the
orthography and in the meaning). AFAIK, none of this stuff was ever
described or published properly, so the application of the bogus
names will in all expectation not follow any sensible rules.

Kind regards
Jan
