Not all mottled leaved Paphs are Maudiae types. There are also Parvisepalums and Brachypetalums (species and hybrids). There are also the Paph species that are in the ancestry of the Maudiae types - callosum, lawrenceanum, barbatum, etc.

Thank you!!! I was not sure at all on that and did not want to misinform someone.
