So it was 1922 .... as I said I did not remember off hand .. >Cohniella wittii (Oppenheim) Senghas Schlechter Orchideen 1/C 44: 2802 >(2001). >Lophiaris wittii (Oppenheim) Braem, in Schlechteriana, IV, 1-2: 21 (1993). I researched it when I was doing the Lophiaris work ... Garay obviously overlooked the Oppenheim work, or did not understand it as it was in German. They are definitely the same !!! >Trichocentrum wittii (Oppenheim) M.W.Chase & N.H.Williams, Lindleyana 16: >138 (2001). This is nonsense ... If you are going to take the rat tails out of Oncidium and even out of Lophiaris, you can't go put them in "Trichocentrum" >Cohniella stacyi (Garay) Christenson, Li ndleyana 14: 177 (1999). >Stilifolium stacyi (Garay) Lückel, Orchidee (Hamburg) 49: 90 (1998). >Trichocentrum stacyi (Garay) M.W.Chase & N.H.Williams, Lindleyana 16: 138 (2001). It is obvious that neither Christenson nor Lückel not Chase amd Williams bothered to read the original publication of Oppenheim ... Lückel would have understood the language but he is not a botanist. regards Guido -- Prof. Dr. Guido J. Braem Naunheimer Str. 17 35633 Lahnau Deutschland/Germany |
