Name Game ... Brs. longissima x Brs. ochraleuca
Help!
I have a brassia cross that I've had for many years. It's in bloom now and I may take it to the show next week. The tag reads Brs. longissima x Brs. ochraleuca. The RHS site is not getting any hits on this plant. Orchidspecies does not list ochraleuca as a species and does not give any syn. Longissima is a syn for arcugiera. Does anyone have any insite to this cross? The spikes produce about 10 flowers with curly petals about 4 inches long. Very petite and graceful. The flower last about two weeks and seems to bloom three weeks before any judging or society meetings. Gene |

Calanthe veratrifolia x kintaroi veratrifolia is a syn of triplicata. No hits on RHS. Thanks, Gene |

kintaroi is a synonym of sylvatica. sylvatica x triplicata = Dominii
Try looking at http://www.kew.org/wcsp/home.do when you need to look up species names. There is a Brassia Karolyn = arcuigera x chloroleuca, registered by H&R a few years ago. -danny "Gene Schurg" wrote in message news:M1ZRg.10456$8O1.8812@trnddc04...

Ok...I could really start to hate this hobby...
The plant labeled by Hoosier Orchids as Calanthe (veratrifolia x kintaroi) is really Calanthe (triplicata x sylvatica) which is (according to several websites) Calanthe Dominii which is the oldest orchid hybrid. The plant I've known for many years as Brassia (longissima x ochraleuca) was mispelled and should be Brassia (longissima x chloroleuca) but longissima is a synonym for arcuigera which really makes this Brassia Karolyn. Suddenly I feel like growing the darn things is easier than tracking the names. Good Growing, Gene (at least I think that is my name) |
