Dear Guido and OGD's
<<<You can all have fun ... however, "Aa" is a synonym for "Ada", thus there is
no
point in seriously investigating what Reichenbach had in mind when he
described his genus.>>>
Are you sure of this statement? Aa is part of the ****Cranichidinae and Ada is
part of the Oncidinae. Did I miss something here? Seems that they are not too
similar. Or is it a joke?
Dear Jay,
of course you are right ... just take Altensteinia or something like
that ... may be closer
Regards
Guido

Dear Dr. Braem,
in the gorgeous book "Orchid hunting in the Lost World" a series of articles by the late
G.C.K. Dunsterville are presented. In one of his articles (�a, Aha, Aha ha - and What Next" from
the AOS Bulletin from january 1983) mr. Dunsterville mentiones a wasp described by Reichenbach called
"Zyzzyx". Could this be the wasp you mean?
Yes Sir, lets agree on the wasp ..
regards
Guido.
Interestingly enough, Reichenbach once wrote : "Authors should do more than
secure to themselves the right of priority" (quoted by Reinikka, A History
of the Orchid, 1972, p. 217).
Viateur, Reichenbach wrote quite a few other "strange" things too ...
The more you will study about Reichenbach, the less you will
like him
regards
Guido
