I am also most grateful to

and
Gustavo A. Romero (Orchid Herbarium of Oakes Ames),
contacted off the list,
for their most generous help.

***********
I still have some interrogations about Cattleya quadricolor (for example :
- was the species mentioned by Lindley as Cattleya quadricolor the same species that Bateman described later ?
- was the description of Cattleya candida by Loddiges, in 1842, valid published ?)
but I now have plenty of material to work on, and enough documentation to write an article on Cattleya quadricolor.


Best regards,

Viateur
