equitants
I would like to know what defines equitants from oncidiums, and whether
or not all equitants should properly be called tolumnia. TIA. Tom Walnut Creek, CA, USA (To reply by e-mail, remove APPENDIX) |

Tom,
Here is an abstracts from the AOS fact sheet for Tolumnia (http://orchidweb.org/orchids/az/tolumnia.html) that I think answers your questions: "Tolumnia is a synonym of the variegatum section of the genus Oncidium, sometimes called "equitant" oncidiums because of the triangular or "triquetrous" cross section of the leaves. Although Tolumnia is the botanically correct genus name, Oncidium is retained as the horticultural name for registration purposes by the Royal Horticultural Society."
