Trying to find more information about Epidendrum Porpax I found this in the Monococt Database managed by the RHS Epidendrum neoporpax Ames, Bot. Mus. Leafl. 2: 112 (1934). Cuba to Hispaniola. 81 CUB DOM. *Epidendrum porpax Rchb.f., Flora 48: 278 (1865), nom. illeg. Epidendrum vestitum Ames, Schedul. Orchid. 6: 48 (1923), nom. illeg. Auliza vestita Acuqa, Bol. Estagisn. Exp. Agron. Santiago de las Vegas 60: 86 (1939). Nanodes porpax (Rchb.f.) Brieger, Proc. World Orchid Conf. 3: 334 (1960). Neolehmannia porpax (Rchb.f.) Garay & Dunst., Venez. Orchids Ill. 6: 37 (1976). Epidendrum porpax var. domingensis Cogn. in I.Urban, Symb. Antill. 7: 181 (1912).
It seems that the porpax name is illegitimate. Jose _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids
