Actually, there are probably quite a few of us on this list who have
thrown up their hands after the 5th name change in the past several
decades and simply call our plants by the name we learned back in the
70's. The plants grow and bloom and don't care. The literature typically
includes all the synonyms or past incarnations of the plant in
question...so cultivation info is easy to come by even without the
'newest and bestest name' (shrug). Most folks know what you're talking
about. Some of the more pedantic will correct you. My plants don't care
either way. I sure don't....
Betty Goetz (whose Epidendrum cochleatum (sic), in my collection since
the mid 70's, has 15 blooming spikes at the moment...despite my not
really knowing WHAT it's current name-of-the-hour is supposed to be)
