Since Oncidiinae represent one of my favourite groups of orchids and unfortunaltely i cant grow most of the interesting ones, I' ve been doing some "research" lately and I have stibled upon a page about them:
ONCIDIINAE (ORCHIDACEAE)
on the page's quite clearly explaind which genuses and why are (should be) they valid.
however, i haven't seen any acceptance of those proposals anywhere.
I do understand that some traditional genuses are far more useful for horticulture and won't, can't, be replaced by some weird, for a grower unnecessary changes,
but, I do like to know, what's currently accepted as a (scientifically) correct name - i don't mind renamings, in fact i rather like to follow these changes as it changes our perception of how orchids evolved (well sometimes it gives more about how we are too
).
So, i'd like to found out, what are for now the correct names for the genuses and species in this group? I'm familliar with IOSPE, but there's not many reasons why the geni are like they are...
Thanks!
