Diana,

Yeah, the times are a' changin'.

This happened a few years ago. It's still not widely accepted, but since the
AOS has standardized on the Kew Monocot Checklist for names, at least we
know what taxonomic camp the AOS has aligned themselves with.

And the Laelias are all jumbled up, too. The Brazilian ones are considered
Sophronitis by Kew. Only the Mexican Laelias kept the name Laelia.

aurantiaca and skinneri are no longer Cattleyas? Huh? Huh? Ditto
bowringiana.
