David,
Is C. reginae albolabellum the same as C. reginae alba, as Phytesia are offering the latter but not the former.

Not sure but I think it should read Cyp reginae alba labellum. Anyone?

How about:

Cypripedium reginae Walter  f. albolabium Fernald  &  B.G.Schub ?

But I would be inclined to go for simply:

Cypripedium reginae v. album

Although one's natural inclination may be to call it Cypripedium reginae v. alba, that would be incorrect as the varietal epithet takes its gender from the genus, which in this case is -um = neuter, hence album. - How I enjoyed my nine years of Latin at school  ;) ;) ;)

If in doubt, I tend to consult the International Plant Name Index, maintained by Kew:
http://www.ipni.org/ipni/plantnamesearchpage.do

To find the above result I entered: Genus: Cypripedium, Species: reginae.
