Orchid Taxonomy, what is what?
Default Orchid Taxonomy, what is what?

Ok guys Orchid taxonomy....I know, kinda a huge question, but what is what? By this I mean like starting at "Orchid" (I know not the scientific name) this is what? The genus, species, genre....? I am pretty positive it isn't none of the examples I just listed but just so you understand what I am asking? And then what comes after that? And after that? So on so forth?

Like for cattleya, this is the species? Then there are groups like cattleya trianaei is this on the same level of classification as a cattleya or is it a sub group of cattleya? Same thing for groups Like Potinara (I know it now has a new name but never can remember the new one) is pot. On the same level as Cattleya within the taxonomy tree or is if a subgroup? And then there are lots of cattleya trianaei but some are 'A.C. Burrage' some are 'YYYYYYY' what Is up with this?

And then with hybrids, they don't have an exact 'XXXX' name, why is that? Can they ever come to have an exact 'XXXX' name?

I wish you could buy like a big chart from AOS every year that has the Orchid taxonomy tree updated and taken down to a point for a specific group of orchids, like Cattleyas have a chart, Dendrobiums, so on so on. That would be SO helpful and something I feel like tons of people would buy because Orchid taxonomy is a nightmare To begin with but then they continuously are making changes that make it so
much more confusing!

If anyone knows of good articles that breaks down the taxonomy I am more then willing to just read those. I know this is a huge question but I'll take any help I can get!
