Taras is registered as boissierianum X pearcei, not ecuadorense. >The RHS recognizes ecuadorense as a valid name (e.g. P. Ecua-Bess). >If Tetzlaff actually used ecuadorense in his cross then it appears >that he mis-registered it. > >Why not call the man-made cross P. Richteri (note the capital L)? >This would be analogous to Cattleya Hardyana (C. warscewiczii X >dowiana) vis-a-vis Cattleya hardyana? I don't think that is a good idea. It calls for BIG confusion. By the way, when "P. Richteri" first appeared (as P. unknown), I was asked first to name it as "P. topperi". I REFUSED because I recognised it as a hybrid. In that group, a lot of "natural" hybrids are floating around. Please note that I put "natural" in inverted commas. If you wish, call them "dubious taxa". >Iris, I tend to agree with you on P. Franz Glanz but I would like to >hear from an accepted taxonomist. > >Guido, where are you when I need you???? Right here ... Just went on four (4) days on vacation [That is all I take this year]. Can someone send me a picture of P. Franz Glanz? I will comment on it after that. In the mean time, I will have a word with Olaf. And I don't keep OLD postings in archive, so please, if you want me to comment on Iris's posting, please send it to me again regards Guido _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
