[OGD] Catasetinae seed pod maturation times and new website
Hello All; I have been off-line for most of this summer - had both knees totally replaced (one 3-week hospital stay and one 3-month physical therapy routine) and lots of other time consuming jobs like equipment repairs and upgrades and constant trimming of the rare palm and bamboo nursery, but all that walking is good therapy also. I've also totally upgraded our website and now offer wholesale pricing to everyone. If you have the time, I would appreciate feedback on how you like (or dislike) the new site, how quickly it loads for you, how well the popups display after you click on the thumbnail photos, what you might think of the non-orchid sections in the website (tea, globally endangered ecosystem, etc), etc. Well - that was all off-topic. I've tried unsuccessfully to do some Google research on how long to let seed pods hang in the Catasetinae group of orchids. I'm primarily doing breeding in the Fdk, the Cyc, (Cyc X Cycd), (Cyc or Cycd X Morm) type of breeding lines. I'm not doing much straight Ctsm breeding (short shelf life when in spike), but if anyone has that information, I'll certainly save that on my computer also. Thank you so much --- Terry Terry A.

[OGD] Aerides
Hi all, I am intrigued by the various spellings provided by various lists on the genus Aerides. Is A multiflora [Kew] or multiflorum [w3tropicos] correct. This same problem seems to be out there in many books as well. Hooker, Holttum, Hawkes has it as multiflorum, Pridgeon, Seidenfadden, Comber multiflora. Was it unclear in the past that Aerides was a feminine name and therefore newer tomes have it feminine, older masculine? Seems to me that Latin is a fairly stagnant language so why the unclarity? I would suspect that the feminine is correct only because it is the more modern usage, but I want to be sure. I am working on a lot of little glitches and mistakes within IOSPE. The mistakes are being pointed out by some of the OGD readers so hats off to you all for the help!

[OGD] genus and genders
Jay [Pfahl] wrote various spellings provided... on the genus Aerides. Is A multiflora [Kew] or multiflorum [w3tropicos] correct. This same problem seems to be out there in many books as well. Hooker, Holttum, Hawkes has it as multiflorum, Pridgeon, Seidenfadden, Comber multiflora. Was it unclear in the past that Aerides was a feminine name and therefore newer tomes have it feminine, older masculine?... I would suspect that the feminine is correct only because it is the more modern usage In Latin, the gender neutral also exists. With Aerides... it was not easy to find the right gender... now the female is generally recongnized : Aerides krabiénsis [note : To determine you have to say Aerides quinquevúlnerum or Aerides quinquevúlnera is almost impossible. If the botanist Lindley, who described this orchid for the first time used quinquevúlnerum as a substantive (Genetivus qualitatis) then this orchid must still be called Aerides quinquevúlnerum, even if the genus name Aerides is regarded as female. Had Lindley used quinquevúlnerum as an adjective it would be Aerides quinquevúlnera. Essentially this refers to subtle grammatical differences - one meaning the five-spotted Aerides, the other Aerides with five spots] Predominantly in German literature there are some authors who regard Aerides as neutral - they then write Aerides multiflorum Aerides jarckiánum [source : The Grammatical Gender of Orchid Names in Mayr, Hubert 1998Orchids Names and their Meanings, page 42]. * Regards, Viateur ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
[OGD] re wetting
The most simple way to get you surfactants into the material you are trying to sterilise is to use a ultrasonic cleaner for a minute before you start the process...this will break down surface tensin and let your sterilizing agent...with a surfactant...work into the surface of the plant material...prolonged use will damage the stomata and the material will die or be adversely affected It is good to see the enthusiasm of people on the list...but often re-inventing to wheel is a difficult road to travel.

[OGD] Dactylorhiza from Himalayas
I have read couple of articles and papers that mention declining population Dactylorhiza found in Western Himalayas including Nepal. It is mainly due to illegal collection of tubers to be used in local and exotic medicine. I am trying to find out the quantity of tubers that are exported or sold in local market legally or illegally. Anyone with estimate or idea in this regard? ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
