Just wanted to add, there is a funny thing about the generic name. Sirhookera, everyone knows Sir Hooker, but no one knows how to pronounce the two words kept together, "Sirhookera". There was a similar issue where one orchid expert named a Liparis after the famous Prof S.P.Vij from Punjab University. He played it nicely by naming the plant as Liparis espeevijii, so that the species epithet can be pronounced the way he wanted. Earlier people used to use a hyphen but not hyphen is not allowed so it makes the naming a bit complicated using two words. Pankaj
