Taxonomy rant!
Diana Kulaga wrote:
Have you seen the current issue of Orchids? Have you? Did you know that aurantiaca and skinneri are no longer Cattleyas? Huh? Huh? Ditto bowringiana. And on pg. 659 - top right photo and lower half of the page - what kind of labeling is that? "Guarianthe (syn. Cattleya) x guatemalensis 'Barbara Sullivan' CCM/AOS (skinneri x aurantiaca)" And on pg 661, they identify bowringiana in one picture as "C." and in the one below as Guarianthe (syn. Cattleya). This is getting stupid. Diana Oh gosh. I've been putting off reading this thread because of it's size. (my post will take it to 50 posts) By complete coincidence I finally started reading the current Orchids and last night I was noticing exactly what you are talking about including the contradiction on page 661. Well, I'm going to bed now. Maybe tomorrow I get on into this and see what everyone has been talking about. Steve |
