Bill Bergstrom:
> why not the Laelia as the proper one to use
That actually has a simple answer. It's clear that
the Mexican and Brazilian "laelias" are quite
different. The type species for the genus is a
Mexican species, so if the two groups are to be split,
the Mexican species get the name "Laelia," and the
Brazilian species must be renamed.
