well, this little argue about the possibility of changing the name of Habenaria rhodocheila seems a bit useless doesn't it? Moreover, even if you want to, you will have to proove there is two distinct species, and now, morphology is not the only criterium to take in count. Genetics also play a great role. To find the original description, it might be useful to know where it has been first published it might be conserved in a museum now, but you still can find a copy... actually, taxonomy at this point is not really an interest for the average hobbyist... who calls it Prostechea...? and what you are doing with this form of habenaria is exactly what you denouce about the great ego, do you want to print your name? become a novelist, or then publish a paper in a scientific journal...
