The orchid world is about to loss one of its top taxonomists shortly. In the January Orchid Research Newsletter No. 47 (http:// www.rbgkew.org.uk/herbarium/orchid/orn47.pdf), the final Phil Cribb editorial for the series is published. For all the dislike (sometimes irrationally venomous) of some of his work by orchid gardeners, and some in the botanical community Dr. Cribb has made an impressive contribution to the scientific side of orchidom. If only his screeching and whining critics were as productive as he our knowledge of orchids would be much improved.
