Hello Viateur and all members:
The beautiful and fragant C. gaskelliana occurs in
the nor-oriental portion of our country, mainly find very near Caripe, a
little and fresh town of the Monagas state, but very wide distributed around
that zone. I think you can see a distribution map, looking www.orquideariocerroverde.com
where we put some maps distribution of the venezuelan cattleyas.
Hope it will help.
Best growing!
Armando Betancourt
Now flowering (second time in the year) a C.

To: orchids@orchidguide.com Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Hello OGDers Does the species Cattleya gaskelliana occur in Colombia ? I have the following reference that indicates a Colombian distribution : The Cattleyas and Their Relatives, volume 1, The Cattleyas, p.60. I presume that it is the source that supports the indication of a Colombian distribution in the World Checklist of Monocotyledons Database (RBG, Kew). Do you have collection data that would confirm that the species do occur in Colombia ? Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Viateur ------------------------------ |
