Why don't we just avoid this "academic make work project" and use the old
classifacations?

Rats. Didn't work; the RHS links don't show. I'm trying it in rgo. If that
doesn't work I'll copy the links later today and post them on rgo.

OrchidWiz Alert: Name Changes



We would like to bring to your attention a recent change in genus names
in
the International Register of Orchid Hybrids maintained by the RHS. The
change stems from the separation of Rhyncholaelia from Brassavola;
Guarianthe from Cattleya; the change from Brazilian Laelias to
Sophronites; and the separation of Schomburgkia into Myrmecophila and
Laelia.



The changes to Laeliinae species caused a massive domino effect
throughout
hybrid nomenclature, impacting many thousands of crosses. The
transformation is drastic and inescapable. To give you some examples of
popular hybrids affected:



Brassolaeliocattleya Goldenzelle in now Rhynchosophrocattleya
Goldenzelle
(click link to see)



Sophrolaeliocattleya Hazel Boyd is now Guarisophleya Hazel Boyd



Cattleytonia Why Not is now Guaritonia Why Not



Laeliocattleya Trick or Treat is now Sophranthe Trick or Treat



Cattleya Chocolate Drop is now Cattlianthe Chocolate Drop



Brassocattleya Maikai is now Brassanthe Maikai



Brassolaeliocattleya Momilani Rainbow is now Thwaitesara Momilani
Rainbow



Brassolaelia Morning Glory is now Brassonitis Morning Glory



Brassolaeliocattleya Golden Tang is now Marriottara Golden Tang



Epilaeliocattleya Don Herman is now Epicatanthe Don Herman



Otaara Jane Fumiye is now Peetersara Jane Fumiye



The new nomenclature in effect obsoletes all currently-published orchid
databases. OrchidWiz has already incorporated the changes into
Encyclopedia 4.01 (the September update) which will start shipping in
the
next few days. The new version will include thousands of new
registrations
as well as the June AQ. Please note all existing awards, contributed
photos and other historical data will remain under the old names which
will be "aliased" (linked) to the new names.



If you subscribe to the Annual Maintenance Plan you will be receiving
the
update in the mail within a week or two. From now on we are holding all
new orders of 4.0 (or upgrades to 4.0) until the new software ships.



We thank you for your patience on this matter. If you have questions,
comments or concerns, please contact .



Best wishes,



- The team at OrchidWiz
