Since I'm home sick from work and have nothing else to do, I "googled" Sievekingia butcheri and found the above citation and description of this species which was published in Orquideologia 13(3):221-222 April 1979. Don't worry if you can't read the Spanish because the description is repeated in English. There is also a botanical drawing and a black&white photo. It jogged my memory as we did search for it on La Mesa and Walter Maduro was one of the individuals who had cultivated one of the three plants that were originally found.

Well I found you cannot link directly to this citation. So here's the long and more circuitous route to it. Go to
EPIDENDRA, the botanical databases of Jardin Botanico Lankester which is homepage for the botanical databases of Jardin Botanico Lankaster in Costa Rica. Then click on List of Taxa. You can then scroll down to Sievekingia butcheri, click on the species name. This will take you to another notation, click on Orquideologia 13(3):221-222 1979 and then you can access the pdf file.

Thanks Martha! I will definitely check this out when I get a chance.
