Offspring and progeny? Using a human analogy, could it be that 'progeny' are descendents of parents including the children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and so on, whereas 'offspring' are specifically the immediate 'progeny'; the children of them? Maybe there's a more subtle difference with plants and an even subtler one with orchid plants! Presumably, vegetative divisions (clones) are not included in 'progeny'? I dread to think what happens with hybrid descendent terminology! John Stanley
