It is very different both in colour and the lateral sepals with them longer and not having prominent hump at base. The petals are also longer.

I believe these are a pale form of P. caricetum which is interesting. I also note these are also another of the white Paraprasophyllum that the flowers open down from the top. Which is clear from these photos.
