Thanks for bringing this to my attention Kathy & Peter,
I would love to vent here about this name changing, clumping, splitting
etc.,
I just want to say that my huge Dendrobium speciosum will always be known to
me
as just that.!
Now they are changin the genus & to make it more confusing it is
speciosus???? (See J. Pfahl's)
I feel sorry for anyone with a lazy tongue saying. . . . .Thelychiton
speciosums

My question is why?
Cheers Wendy

Yeah, I'm going to have to get me one of those (thelychiton) speciosums.
They are just *too* impressive.

The Maribyrnong orchid society staged arguably the best of their 3 or 4
annual orchid shows yesterday. The Maribyrnong Club is based in the
western suburbs of Melbourne, Vic., Australia and has a many members. A
lot of great orchids were on display and most noteworthy were the
Dendrobium (thelychiton) speciosums. The grand prize winner was (yet
again) a bridal veil - Dockrillia teretifolium " Newbold'
Cymbidium Pearl Dawson was very eye catching (Plant photo failed) along
with Cym Ten Pin 'No.1', but Masdevallia pachyura fluttered many a heart
there! Dendrobium speciosum 'Taipan' X 'Watellow' was outstanding.
