Thanks much Phil, so in this case does it mean that "giryamae" is like
"eburneum" but not quite? Cheers Wendy "Phil Diamond" wrote in message du.au... In rec.gardens.orchids you write: Subspecies; Cordially, Phil What does ssp mean on a tag? eg. Angraecum eburneum ssp giryamae Cheers Wendy |

Wendy,
I think it happens when the eburneum mutates a bit. Sometimes you see var. also used this way. The taxonomists get a big laugh out of screwing with us and changing names. I find that sometimes when a grower labels plants they get lazy and may even list the plant by its subspecies name, for example, Angraecum eburneum ssp giryamae may appear as Angcm. giryamae. This happened recently with a plant I purchased labeled Angcm. longicalar. I have found it listed as Angraecum eburnum var. longicalar and Angraecum eburneum ssp. superbum var. longicalar. Curses on them taxonmists! Good Growing, Gene "Wendy" wrote in message news:zzjsb.28576$Zb7.18395@fed1read01...

Thanks ever so much Gene, my question makes sense to me now, (stupid sense).
I was given a couple of pseudo bulbs of Angraecum giryamae & upon researching, found the Angcm. eburneum ssp giryamae? I already have Angcm. eburneum in spike but it will take a while to compare the two? I hope the Tax guys give reasons for their name changes etc? Why do they do this?

Wendy,
Pseudobulbs of an Angraecum? I don't think Angraecums grow pseudobulbs. They are monopodial (I think that's the right term...if not I'm sure someone will correct me). They grow like vandas and phalaenopsis and may keiki along the stem and from the base of the plant. If you have real pseudobulbs then I wonder what plant you really have?

Oops! I was thinking of another plant that I had just mounted on cork. You
are correct, I have a large pup of Angraecum giryamae. Apparently this one is slightly different to the other subspecies. The stud plant cost my friend $500 & there he was cutting away with a razor blade!! For me! It pays to have good friends. Cheers Wendy "Gene Schurg" wrote in message hlink.net...
