[OGD] Concerning new combinations in the genus Cattleya
Tennis, You may find some useful information in Neodiversity, which is a journal of neotropical biodiversity. It's latest issue of March 10 2008 contains an article by Cassio van den Berg, New Combinations In The Genus Cattleya Lindl. (Orchidaceae) Here is the URL to that article, in pdf. http://www.neodiversity.org/articles/neod3102.pdf Peter ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com

The RHS orchid registrar, Julian Shaw, deals only with registered artificial hybrids and their species ancestors. Difficulties arise when: There are differences between natural populations that have horticultural significance but no taxonomic significance. Occasionally the registrar keeps the nomenclatural difference, at least for the time being. An example is Phrag. ecuadorense. This occurs in other families, too, for example, Black Hills spruce. There is confusion about a natural hybrid that is also a cultivated hybrid. There is a lag between publication of a new botanical name and its acceptance for hybrid registration. To tell you the truth, I have found errors in both the Kew Checklist (usually typos) and the RHS registration (usually caused by a change delay). They are both run by humans. If you see a discrepancy in either of them, just ask. They will be happy to explain it to you, or correct the error if there is one.

[OGD] Nak. Edwin Hausermann
I have a small plant of Nak. Edwin Hausermann 'Nancy', HCC/AOS (Ascf. Peaches x V. cristata). Last year it produced one normal flower. It is in bloom again with several flowers buds, but one flower has only one petal, two flowers have no petals. It is outside all summer in pretty much full sun, bark mix in a slotted pot. I have an old Darwinara that has never given me any trouble. Is there a cultural factor I'm missing? Is there a genetic problem caused by over-meristemming? Should I ask for a refund?

[OGD] New Catt naming
Yes, to the question of if others are nterested in the misssing names, with Laelia crispa part of the etc. Cynthia, Prescott, AZ I don't see any mention of L.perrinii, among others (L.tenebrosa, L.lobata, etc.). Anyone know if there will be a further addition to this enumerating those left out or if we should assume the species epithet remains the same though transferred to Cattleya (i.e., C.perrinii), or if in fact, he just forgot some?

Re: [OGD] cattleya names
Based on what I learned at AOS judging yesterday at the Parkside Orchid Fest in Ottsville, PA, we are not going to start using the newly lumped nomenclature until it has gone through the formal challenge, rebuttal, and final approval process. This is according to Cordelia Head, who attended/participated in the recent SSC/IUCN meetings. She has voluntarily served with this group for many years (decade? longer?). So AOS awards will continue to be filed as before, until further notice. Apparently the IUCN's decision to lump was published in the latest AQ, but I have not yet received my copy.

Re: [OGD] New Catt naming
Schnitz, These other species had already been placed in Cattleya years before. I had the same question and Casio gave us the old references. icones - Original Message - From: Schnitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: orchids@orchidguide.com Sent: Sunday, July 27, 2008 11:29 AM Subject: [OGD] New Catt naming Yes, to the question of if others are nterested in the misssing names, with Laelia crispa part of the etc. Cynthia, Prescott, AZ I don't see any mention of L.perrinii, among others (L.tenebrosa, L.lobata, etc.).

[OGD] Heating over the winter
With the jump in the price of energy, supposedly there will be high heating bills this winter, I was wondering what effect this maybe having on people who grow orchids especially in colder climates? Have energy prices jumped up dramatically this year in Australia, Europe, and the rest of the world? Changing how you will heat the greenhouse? Dropping growing warm to intermediate orchids to grow more cool growers? Not growing orchids? How have growers in the southern hemisphere done this winter? With oil prices looking like they will be going up for years to come, growing warm growing orchids looks expensive in cold winter climates.

Re: [OGD] Orchids Digest, Vol 10, Issue 213
Laelia perrinii and Laelia lobata are missing because they were originally described by Lindley as species of Cattleya.
