Juan,
May be the Latin translation is wrong! In fact F. Hernandez used only the nahuatl name in his "Thesaurus", the Latin name was added by Schreck, a publisher of Hernandez work (not the green ogre!)

Juan,
Thank you for the nahuatl 'free class'! Moreover to love orchids, I like to know the orchid's names etymology!
Gracias!
