angrechum distichum
At a recent orchid meeting I displayed an orchid with many small white
flowers called angrechum distichum. Several in attendance mentioned that this is the "former" name of this plant and that the genus name has been changed. But they didn't recall how it is now classified. Anyone know the reclassified genus? Thanks Charles VanDyke |

angrechum distichum
Hello Charles,
I can't rember having read anything about recent changes in the genus Angreacum. I searched some internet sites and the only thing recent I came up with was the synonym Angraecum poppendickianum published by Szlachetko and Olszewski in 2001. But that is not a change in genus name. Could it have been that people have only mentioned the wrongly spelled name Angrechum?

Anyone know the reclassified genus? Does this look like the plant? http://www.plantfacts.com/Family/Orc...istichum.shtml -- Chris Dukes Suspicion breeds confidence -- Brazil |

angrechum distichum
I also know nothing about any renaming in the genus Angreacum.
What I often see is Angraecum bancoense and distichum being confused, bancoense has sligthly smaller flowers - but beside from that they look pretty much the same, and when out of flower I have a hard time telling them apart. Another species that sometimes gets labeled as Angraecum distichum is Microsaccus griffithii, grifftithii does look a lot like distichum (if you dont know any better), however, it is a smaller plant and flowers usually in pairs (which "mirrors" each other). Charles, it would be good to know what you were told more exactly, any reclassification would be interesting to investigate, but I also have not heard of such a thing... could you ask them nexxt time you see them, and let us know what they were talking about? |
