Michael [Benedito] asked : "what are th[e] major differences between those two taxa?:
J. A. Fowlie, in The Genus Lycaste (1970), writes : "It [Lycate cruenta] is at once separated from Lycaste aromatica (Graham) Lindley and Lycaste consobrina Rchb. f. which have much larger almost petal-like callosities." [page 27] Michael also asked : "Do L. cruenta... smells like cinnamon?" The species's fragrance is described as having notes of cinnamon, lemon and cloves. **************** Regards, Viateur _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
