Viateur, maybe you can tell us what point you want to make? In any case, autonyms (that is what the taxa you refer to are named) are ALLWAYS to be cited without author because they are AUTOMATICALLY created and thus have no authors. Other varieties, do, of course have authors
Guido J. Braem From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [OGD] varieties's names for Prosthechea cochleata To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1; format=flowed "The reason why no author is given to E. cochleata var. cochleata is because when one describes a variety of a given species, the "standard or tipic" variety is automaticaly created to represent all the others that do not belong to the new variety." Well, it seems that it is not the case for another variety of Prosthechea cochleata : Regards, VB _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
