Hi all, My request for an identification on an Epidendrum species worked so well the other day that I thought I'd try my luck with getting an identification on a Clowesia species. The plant in question was sold to me as Clowesia glaucaglossa. After it bloomed last spring I was told it was not, and I was unable to find anyone at that time who could tell me what it was. The flowers were approximately 5 cm across. Here are two links to photographs...

Most Earthy biomass is microbial and thrives in the deep rocks, so one must think of any consistent creator-deity as (a) subterranean and (b) fond of heat and sulphur. Any orchid-related creationist deity must have an affinity for insects, insofar as the raison d'?tre of the family is the rivetting of the attention of bugs. Haldane, of course, thought that "that Almighty" had "an extraordinary affinity for beetles", so it may be that is closer to the mark. In place of beards and harps, therefore, perhaps the modern iconography for creationism should tend to carapaces and stridulation? ______________________________ Oliver Sparrow +44 (0)20 7736 9716 www.chforum.org ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2006 12:39:41 +0200 From: "Prof. Dr. Braem" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [OGD] The ultimate Sparerib To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" >Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2006 21:57:15 EST >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >Hello! >Hey, when can we go back to Creation vs Evolution? >Have Dr. Prof. Guido Braem or Peter O' Byrne figured out how to get a woman >from a rib yet? > > Well I am working on it in my Bio 398A Evolution seminar. But somehow, Moses was a bad scientist, he fooled us with his recipe and published phoney results (that indicates that he must have been related to Arditti). But then, if we succeed, we can make as many women as we want. Would that be positive for the Advancement of Science? The result would be even more shoes in the house ;-).

It has now been split and the former Section Crispae (Lindley) has been named Brasilaelia by Campacci in Coletanea de Orchideas Brasileiras 4. Unfortunately Dr. Bream also proposed a new name for section Cattleyodes (Schechter) (the same set of species) of Chironiella in Richardiana 6(2), but Brasilaelia appears to have priority. icones > Thanks to Oliver Sparrow for passing on the article on speciation.
