Similar in appearance to Phal. amabilis. Differences are Phal. aphrodite has a more complex callus. Phal. aphrodite has 4 teeth in the posterior edge of the callus, while amabilis has only 2. The midlobe of aphrodite is also shorter and wider than amabilis. More over, aphrodite flowers are smaller than amabilis

History "..Lindley was confused over the identification of the true Phal. amabilis and consistently misapplied that name to plants of Phal. aphrodite. As a result of this confusion, Lindley needed a name for his "other" species and he redescribed true Phal. amabilis as Phal. grandiflora." (Phalaenopsis: A Monograph", by Eric A. Christenson p. 188)

Phalaenopsis amabilis var. aphrodite (Rchb.f.) Ames (1908)
