Chiron and Castro have split Brazilian Laelia into
4 genera (see below).
I wish they had not included
some Sophronithis under Hadrolaelia. why not to leave Sophronitis
as it was before? or maybe move some Hadrolaelia (pumila, praestans, alaorii,
etc... well, the ones that have flower buds ready to bloom when the new leaves
open and have no spathe) into a new genus or a section of Sophronitis? They seem
quite diferent from L. purpurata and L. perrinii.
Keeping L. purpurata and S. coccinea on the same
genus seems to me to be un unfinished task. They have split the smal ones, which
are much alike, into Dungsia and Hoffmannseggella.
