Default Encyclia withnerii by another name?

Al,

Try withneri (it's a one eyed encyclia).

Still not a lot. NY Botanacal Gardens has a dried specimen
http://scisun.nybg.org:8890/searchdb...t?this_id=2818
785

They list it as Epidendrum. Another site Orchid Lady lists it as Encyclia
http://www.orchidlady.com/encyclopedia/e.html

My copy of Manual of Orchids from the Royal Horticultural Society doesn't
list it at all nor does Jay on Orchidspecies.com.

It appears that it was described in the 1977-1981 time frame so older
textbooks won't have it.

I did a google search on an orchid species named Encylia withnerii and

came
up with zero hits. Google didn't recognize it at all and gave me a few
links to various Encyclia and asked "Did you mean "Encyclia with Nero"?

Anyway, does anybody recognize this name attached to a synonym.
