I am including in this message snippets from a few other messages to tie
another current thread in rgo to this one. My question, does this mean that
the skilled taxonomists at Kew are not as skilled after all or were too busy
and made an incredible mistake, or does it mean after all that it is
sometimes really difficult to tell that something is an orchid if it is not
flowering?

Thanks,

I will not touch most of your questions with a 10 foot pole....
But I did notice that they were under the impression that they
had an identification on the plant. It was only when it got
challenged that they looked close enough to find that the seed
was not properly labeled when they received it.
