Another correction from Dr Henry F Oakeley re [Orchids Digest, V6 # 324]: Re: Anguloa 
eburnea or ? 


Dear Jean-Marie/Orchid Guide

My apologies - could this paragraph be substituted for the relevant one in the letter 
replying to the queries re Anguloa eburnea, which I sent you earlier about Anguloa 
eburnea. (Venezuela substituted for Colombia in three places)
Thanks
Henry


viz, from north east to south west and then south the distribution is tognettiae (La 
Puerta Venezuela)  - Bot. Reg. plant (Merida Venezuela) - Dunsterville plant (Tachira 
Venezuela) - Bot. Reg. plant + virginalis (Ocana Colombia) - tognettiae (Guayabetal, 
Colombia) - virginalis (Cali, Colombia) --- eburnea+ virginalis (Ecuador) - virginalis 
+ uniflora (Peru).   The illustrations, while suggesting an influence of Anguloa 
eburnea, are not supported by the Lindley herbarium specimen, so I now believe that 
the Bot. Reg and the Dunsterville plants may be Anguloa tognettiae x Anguloa 
virginalis from the herbarium and geographical evidence.
