Here's an interesting article from the World Land Trust bulletin:
Hire an Orchid AND Save a Rainforest
The new Driftwood Orchid Display. Try it for free for a month and Enterprise
Plants will donate £50
to the WLT.
Brighten up your office with orchids from WLT Sponsor.
WLT Sponsors Enterprise Plants have been supplying Rainforest Orchid displays,
using nursery
propagated orchids, to clients for the past two years and these planters
currently enhance over a
hundred reception areas and boardrooms. As part of their sponsorhip commitments
to the WLT
Enterprise Plants offer one month's free supply and maintenance of the display
and donate £25 per
planter to the Trust. Clients receive a personalised WLT certificate stating
that One Acre of
rainforest has been saved on their behalf, and if the planter is not required
after the trial
period Enterprise Plants will take it away.
Because of the success of the Rainforest displays Enterprise Plants have
designed a new,
eye-catching planter, again to raise funds for WLT. The Driftwood Orchid
Display contains a unique
New Zealand driftwood sculpture from the shores of South Island, a selection of
architectural air
plants and beautiful miniature orchids. The display measures 50cm x 1m high and
is arranged in a
spun aluminium 'wok' bowl. Again, they are offering one month's free trial for
which they will
donate £50 per new planter to WLT. If you work for someone with a boring
reception area or a
boardroom needing inspiration, try out one of the planters and help raise funds
for tropical
forests at the same time. Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more information.

I am glad to hear that my discussions with Guido are useful and that people do
learn things.
However, it is very tiresome to have to work around his obvious dislike for the
world and all the
people in it
This, my dear Icones, shows how little you know of me and how biased you are
about me. As for Kew,
I have no dislike for the place. I have never said that the weight of the
decision of Kew botanists
is not as important as those of others. Again, you put words in my mouth. As
for Phil Cribb, I have
no dislike for the man. I only have dislike for his actions.
As for Seidenfaden, he was a great man. For Kr?nzlin, well, Kr?nzlin was the
student of Reichenbach
fil. and we know that the latter was not such a great botanist as may be
deduced from his
reputation.
I is indeed frustrating and tiring to discuss this with someone who simply does
not want to
understand plain English. It correlates with you fear of putting your name to
your messages.
Back to important work.

In OGD V8 #193, icones said: In fact Schlechter was so disappointed
in Kraenzlin's work on Dendrobium, that he published a complete
revision of the genus in Die Orchidaceen von Deutsch-Neu-Guinea,
notwithstanding that all dendrobiums do not grow in what was then
German New Guinea.
Sorry, but that is (a) wrong, and (b) a misrepresentation of the way
botanists publish their findings.
a) What Schlechter published in Die Orchidaceen
