Dear Dinesh, What I see is the bigger problem, when the fresh researchers and blind followers will use that reference and then get confused and create more confusion for future generation. The issues are not just limited to Corymborkis or Corymbochis but many other plants in Orchidaceae in that tre

Nees came to my mind also. I have been working on this for last one hour or so. A name after Nees should take form neesianum, neesiana, neesianus or neesii (and in fact used for many genera), but I wonder whether i can be dropped in this case where the name of the person ends in a consonant. * --
