Phrag Urgandiae X popowii

[Chuck]

This is the first of this cross that I have bloomed. I can't find a hybrid name for it. I hope some one can help me there.

It appears this cross is as yet unregistered.

Marsh Wiggle is Phrag. Urgandiae x Phrag. warscewiczianum according to the international orchid register.

I don't know if warscewiczianum is popowii or wallisii in the register. I think it is popowii because when I look up Wössner Supergrande it is warscewiczianum x longifolium. So the international orchid register is not using popowii yet I assume.

(abondon the name warscewiczianum everyone!!! it is confusing)

Unfortunately, Chuck, it doesn't appear to have been registered yet with a new name. However the plant and flowers are very handsome. I would love to have it in my collection. And great pics too. :drool: :drool: :drool:

This whole thing IS very confusing. OrchidWiz shows that Phrag wallisii is the accepted species for warszewiczianum, but it shows a picture of popowii/warszewiczii! If warszewiczianum was the name originally applied to wallisii, I get why taxonomists are using it now, but the fact that warszewiczianum keeps getting confused with warszewiczii/popowii drives me slightly insane...

I like the concept used by Jerry Fischer and Robert-Jan Quene in their article in Orchids. According to it, warszewiczianum=wallisii and warszewiczii=popowii, or what everyone seemed to be referring to before as "warscewcizianum". I find this makes sense and is easy to remember. Will everyone eventually conform to it? Probably not.

Yay taxonomists!

Thanks Parvi! and Smartie I'll sleep on that.

WOW -- an Urgandiae with long petals. Beautiful!!!

I believe popowii et al was proposed by Drs. Guido Braem and Sandy Ohlund a few years ago.
