Encyclia withnerii by another name?
I did a google search on an orchid species named Encylia withnerii and came up with zero hits. Google didn't recognize it at all and gave me a few links to various Encyclia and asked "Did you mean "Encyclia with Nero"? Anyway, does anybody recognize this name attached to a synonym. |

Al,
Try withneri (it's a one eyed encyclia). Still not a lot. NY Botanacal Gardens has a dried specimen http://scisun.nybg.org:8890/searchdb...t?this_id=2818 785 They list it as Epidendrum. Another site Orchid Lady lists it as Encyclia http://www.orchidlady.com/encyclopedia/e.html My copy of Manual of Orchids from the Royal Horticultural Society doesn't list it at all nor does Jay on Orchidspecies.com. It appears that it was described in the 1977-1981 time frame so older textbooks won't have it. Gene "Al" wrote in message ...

Encyclia withnerii by another name?
ii looked up the rule for turning modern names into Latin botanicals and you
are right: in this case it is a single i The specific recommendation from the Tokyo code, if anyone is interested, is 60C.1.(a) I learned it is named after Carl L Withner a modern orchid botanist whose name appears as an author in quite a lot of orchid related books, if the internet is to be believed. So it would be a recently described species, if it is named after him. And your link to the dried specimen at the NY botanical garden tells us it was first collected, described and published in the late 1970s. Is it normal for the exact collection location to be withheld or is it truly an endangered or threatened species on the island of Andros in the Bahamas where it was collected? I suppose there are any number of reasons to categorize a species found only on one small island to be endangered or threatened: crazy orchid collectors on vacation, hurricanes, or even a severe thunderstorm could wipe it into extinction if it's range is truly this limited. Gee whiz, a person who owned such a plant is almost obligated to try to reproduce it. :-) "Gene Schurg" wrote in message rthlink.net... Al, Try withneri (it's a one eyed encyclia). Still not a lot.

I think the New York Botanical gardens obscures the location in the online
pictures of the herbariums specimen, so as to protect the plant form over collecting. Information is just too available on the net, I guess.
