Dear Iris, people would have less headachess if they would read literature. C. tigrina is the valid name for "C. leopoldii". (I have published that in 1984) Now, if you consider "C. leopoldii" a good species, then C. tigrina is not the same as C. guttata.
regards Guido From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [OGD] Another Headache First (when I started growing orchids) there was C. guttata. Then it got some other names. Then supposedly C. tigrina was the same as C. guttata. Now they are both excepted species. What is the difference between them? At this point, can I assume if it says C. guttata in a pedigree, that it is guttata?
