That is pretty cool, Danny. I bookmarked it. Alex, thanks for the response.
I'll look forward to OrchidWiz 4.

Merry Christmas!

The picture ref database at the London, Ontario Orchid Society site can
help you find stuff about a particular species as long as there was a
picture with the article, http://los.lon.imag.net/picref.asp. This is a
great resource.

Hi Larry

I don't speak Spanish either but using AltaVista Babel
http://babelfish.altavista.com/ the introduction translates from:

"Este estudio tiene como finalidad la actualización de la nomenclatura de
los taxa mexicanos de la familia
Orchidaceae mediante el estudio crítico de los tipos existentes y una
revisión extensiva de material
adicional y la literatura del tema, así como la resolución de los
problemas de tipificación existentes de los
nombres basados en material mexicano."

to

"This study has as purpose the update of the nomenclature of taxa Mexican
of the Orchidaceae family by means of the critical study of the existing
types and an extensive revision of additional material and the literature
of the subject, as well as the resolution of the existing problems of
tipificación of the names based on Mexican material."

Despite it having a posting date of April 2006, the report was completed
in October 1995 which makes it reasonably old by current taxonomy
standards.

Nevertheless, it is a very interesting report which I have downloaded for
future reference. The beauty is that it is a searchable PDF file!

(My wish for next Christmas - that the AOS would publish on its web page
a searchable cumulative index in PDF format of all issues of the AOS
bulletin/orchids magazine which would make my collection so much more
useful! I can but dream.....)

Larry, thanks for posting this interesting link.

Cheers

John

I stumbled across this vast archive of what appears to be a Mexican
species manuscript. It is very professionally compiled, but most of
it appears to be written in Spanish (unfortunately, I only understand
English). Here's the link:

http://www.conabio.gob.mx/institucio...os/resultados/

Look for the six files whose names begin with 'InfP107' as they are
written in English, and contain a list of orchid species.

If anyone can provide more information about this, I'd be
appreciative.
