From: K Barrett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [OGD] New cattlerya names To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" The full article can be found at Neodiversity http://www.neodiversity.org/latestissue.html K Barrett I know there are many people who are interested in playing around with the names of plants in the interest of finding their true places in the scheme of things and who is actually related to whom. I know the cannons have been firing on high for quite some time now creating a tremendous cloud of confusion. I realize that to those firing the guns that there is no confusion at all and everything is concrete fact. To those at a level below (the show judges) there is a bit of confusion in keeping up with the rain of name changes and as to when the names from on high have truly been etched in the tablets. There must be some arbitrator who lets them know the word has been given, someone in the AOS? Anyway, the point here is to try to find out when we lowly peons who actually scribe the names onto plant tags, stakes, labels, etc and list them for sale to the public (some who care and others who couldn't give a rat's ***) or for keeping up a small to extensive private collection should actually consider the clouds cleared, the guns silenced (for now) and the names etched so that we can begin the long (and expensive) process of reprinting tags, updating and footnoting databases, finding and tagging the plants.before the guns begin again. Is there an arbitor who can tell the peons that it's time to do this? PS. Thank you K for the link. It was interesting.
