Forwarding for nomenclature clarification Distributed as Acanthephippium bicolor <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/o/orchidaceae/acanthephippium/acanthephippium-bicolor> It is now going to be busy period of few days for Pankaj our Orchid expert, answering questions from a person layman on orchids Our database lists two very similar genera Acanthephippium (two species A. bicolor and A. gougahensis) and Acanthophippium (A. striatum) which we generally consider as orthographic variants, and generally not allowed as distinct taxa. Luckily for me both POWO and Catalogue of life do not list former, and all our species are listed under latter. World Flora Online (and its older version TPL) list both but all our species under former, latter only with single ambiguous name Acanthophippium curtisii. As such I fail to understand two generic entries. Group discussion at Acanthephippium bicolor Lindl. (google.com) <https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/7N4OoFVTb8Y>
