Gerhard [Pratter] asked : "2003 described Holger Perner in... 'Die Orchidee' a... vietnamese Dendrobium species as Dendrobium trantuanii. One year later Leonid Averyanow described the same species in the magazine... 'Orchids' as Dendrobium tuananhii. Which is the correct name now?"
Dendrobium trantuanii Perner & X.N.Dang was described in Orchidee (Hamburg) 54: 220 (2003). the name Dendrobium tuananhii Aver. published in Orchids (West Palm Beach) 73: 134 (2004) is considered a heterotypic synonym. ************** Regards, VB _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
