A note of thanks to Kelvin-Sebastian [Siew Yong Chuay]
for a most detailed answer to my query about orchids named after visitors to Singapore.


I was not aware of the extensive tradition or orchid hybridization in Singapore.
The reference you provided [Orchid Hybrids of Singapore (1893 - 2003)]
is very interesting.


I presume though that most orchidophiles would prefer to have a species named after them.
