[OGD] Virus warning
Oliver reported The sender's ID suggests that this comes from off this list. Others will, therefore be likely to receive it. This has been raised many times. The From field does not necessarily indicate the sender of the virus. The way most viruses (or more correctly, worms) work these days is that they spoof the sender's email address by picking any address that it can locate on the infected PC. But yes, there is a good chance that someone on this list is infected so it's wise to invest in good quality antivirus software and keep it up to date.

[OGD] boissierianum
1) The plant was named in honour of Pierre Edmond Boissier, a Swiss botanist and traveler. Thus the correct name is Phragmipedium boissierianum. 2) The "i" behind the "r" was rejected for some time, but that rule was revoked five years later (at the next botanical congress) (But that is a long time ago) 3) Reichenbach uses the correct name "boissierianum" in Bonplandia as well as in the Xenia (I checked both), as Bossier was a personal acquaintance of HGR, I would have been surprised to see it otherwise. However, even if it would have been misspelled, this is a case where the code provides for corrections. 4) Cash is certainly not the place to check for correct names. -- Prof. Dr. Guido J.

Re: [OGD] Phragmipediums ex Peter Croezen
Hi All, I am far from being a taxonomic authority. However, there are two online plant databases that are very extensive and, barring any human errors, should reflect the spelling provided by the original authors. Those two databases (IPNI and W3 Tropicos) show the correct spelling to be boissierianum, with three is. This species originally was described in 1854 as Cypripedium boissierianum by Reichenbach in Bonplandia. Rolfe later transferred this species to the genus Paphiopedilum (1894) and then Phragmipedium (1896), however the spelling of the species name remained the same throughout its taxonomic journey. As to the distribution of this species, I have seen large aggregations of P. reticulatum, a closely related species, growing on the slopes above road cuts in Ecuador. These plants were in full sun at the time I saw them, but I was not paying attention to the orientation of the slope. According to Baker Baker, P. boissierianum grows on southwest-facing slopes in the Tingo Maria area of Peru; I do not know the original source for that observation.

Re: [OGD] boissierianum
Guido, Yes, I remember that change and everyone got up in arms about it, so they changes it back.As I recallGaray was the proponent for the removal of the 'i' after the 'r'. His positionwas that it was improper Latin. I suspect Cash's Book was published during the time the rule removing the 'i' was in effect, so is correct for that time period, if it was. icones - Original Message - From: Prof. Dr. Braem To: orchids@orchidguide.com Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2006 7:43 AM Subject: [OGD] boissierianum 1) The plant was named in honour of Pierre Edmond Boissier, a Swiss botanist and traveler.

[OGD] Paphiopedilum delenatii / Nhut [Vietnam]
Duong Tan Nhut, vice-director of Da Lat Institute of Biology... Thanks to Nhut, the pink slipper orchid (Paphiopedilum delenatii), once thought to no longer exist in Viet Nam, could make a comeback in its native land. Before, scientist had succeeded in sexual multiplication of this orchid, but they had never achieved asexual multiplication. Nhut's breakthrough gave hope that the endemic endangered flower, named a rare specimen by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, can once again flourish in Viet Nam.

[OGD] Orchids Australia update
Title: Orchids Australia update After a struggle with a virus I have finally updated the Australian Orchid Council/Orchids Australia website with the Contents of our August edition of OA. It features a magnificent flowering of the Eugenanthe Dendrobium Pixie 'Golden Tower' on the cover, reproduced on the home page. There have been some other minor changes as well. I must apologise to visitors in the period 23 to 25 August (depending on which time zone you live in) to received a notice that the site had been suspended. I worked quickly to overcome this problem and it was down for approx 48 hours. However all is well again and we continue to record thousands of hits per day - up to 7500. As you will know, our domain address is www.orchidsaustralia.com We have recently acquired the domain name www.orchidsaustralia.com.au Soon the latter domain will automatically transfer traffic to the correct site but will still retain the .au extension in the URL box of your browser.

[OGD] Name corrections
The worrying thing to me about this is tracking all the changes that may have been made over the centuries since the original publication. So, in the end, just who is right? Colin Hamilton Colin (et al), it is very simple. The name used in the original publication is to be followed. That is the general rule. There are some cases in which the correction of proven orthographic errors is allowed. HGR described Cypripedium boissierianum (Bonplandia) and Selenipedium boissierianum (Xenia). But even if he would have written bossierianum it should have been corrected to boissierianum as the name of the person is known. These rules are in the Code (at 2 am I don't feel like looking them up). There is a much better example: Warszewicz (Jospeh Ritter von Rawicz) was also a friend of HGR but his name was written (and is written) wrong at many occasions. They must be corrected. However, once again, there are only very narrow rules for such corrections. -- Prof. Dr. Guido J.
