Well, it has taken a few months but I finally have this document in
shape to be used at our show - good thing too since the show is in two
weeks (see http://los.lon.imag.net/shows.asp ).

The document lists 3,251 natural and man made genus names I have come
across in various documents and books. Each name has indications of
whether the name is an error (i.e. spelling mistake) , a synonym of
another name. a list of component genera if a hybrid, the document I
found it in, etc.

For the names that are "valid" (please let's not get into a discussion
about which taxonomists feel a name is valid or not) I have the class
or classes that a plant of this name could be entered in at our show
(see classes in our show schedule at
http://los.lon.imag.net/sched04.asp ) . These classes will be brought
back into line with the Mid-America Orchid Council suggested classes
next year.

With that many names merged from a large number of sources I am sure
there are bound to be a couple of "keyboard errors" so if any of you
eagle eyes want to take a look at it, please let me know if you find
any problems.

Hope it adds more clarification than confusion to the huge array of
genus names out there.

Enjoy!!
