Supposedly the Brazilians were going to present comments on the recent RHS
changes in the Cattleya alliance at the Miami WOC. Maybe present their own
analysis or tree based on genetics or cladistic analysis. (?) Anyone have any
further information? AFAIK there had been some discussion of renaming the genus
for the Brazilian laelias to one that honored Brazil, but it was hinted that a
more in depth assessment or taxonomic realignment was coming.
