Hi all, A very knowledgeable orchidist corrected a name I'd found on the Kew World Checklist. I recently photographed a plant with the label M. fasciata, but when I researched the name on the Checklist, Kew says that M. fasciata is a synonym of M. heteroptera, so that's what I labeled the plant on my site. I was told this was incorrect, with a detailed description of why these two species were completely different.
I don't have easy access to Luer's Icones to dig further. Is anyone out there able to add anything to this discussion? I feel stuck betweeen a rock and a hard place. =) Thanks, -Eric in SF www.orchidphotos.org -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
