REGISTRARﾕS NOTES
Implementation of GO 4
The nightmare for the registration staff continues, and presents
particular problems for those using the on-line version of the
register. As a useful hint, most (but not all) greges previously
listed under Brassolaeliocattleya are now Rhynchosophrocattleya
and most Potinara will now be found under Rhynchosophrocattleya
or Thwaitesara. Alternatively one can search for a grex
using the grex epithet only and leaving the genus box blank.
The following new hybrid genera are here validated:

Nomenclatural adjustments in Habenaria and Pecteilis.
Habenaria erichmichaelii described by Eric Christenson
in Orchids (AOS) [72(2)]: 136, Feb. 2003, was named for Erich
E. Michel of Hoosier Orchids, and consequently the orthography
needs to be corrected in databases to Habenaria erichmichelii
Christenson. The Kew World Monocots Checklist (WMCL) has now
been changed to agree with this.
The plant collector Carl Roebelen (b. 1855, Geisslingen, Germany;
d. 6 Jan 1927, Northern Thailand), was employed for a short time
by Sander, from spring 1880-1882, before working freelance. He
collected from 1880-1883? in the Philippines, then after 1884
in Borneo, Sumatra, Java and other smaller islands, and finally
from about 1886 in Burma (Myanmar) and Indo-China including Vietnam.
After being interned in India during the First World War he returned
to Thailand in 1924. Roeblelen is commemorated by several plant
names including Habenaria roebelenii Rolfe in Orchid
Review 21(241): 39, 1913. At time of writing this epithet appears
in some publications, including WMCL, as ﾒroebleniiﾓ, apparently
an unintentional orthographic error. Curiously it appears to
be omitted from both editions of the useful orchid checklist
by L.V. Averyanov, Vascular plants synopsis of Vietnamese flora
1, 1990, and Updated checklist of the orchids of Vietnam, 2003.
There are several other plants named for Carl Roebelen, Aerides
roebelenii Rchb.f., Gard. Chron. 21: 510, 1884, and Cypripedium
roebelenii Rchb.f., Gard. Chron. 1883(2): 684, now a synonym
of Paphiopedilum philippinense. Better known is
the date palm relative Pheonix roebelenii OﾕBrien,
Gard. Chron. 1889(2): 475, 758, f.68. This currently appears
in some publications, including IPNI, as ﾒroebeliniiﾓ, but the
recent generic review by Sasha Barrow, Kew Bulletin 53(3): 530,
1998, uses roebelenii.
A recent review of Pecteilis by C.S. Kumar, in Nordic
Journal of Botany vol. 22 (2002, publ. 2003) reduces Pecteilis
sagarikii Seidenf., Bot. Tidsskr., 68: 46, 1973 to a synonym
of Pecteilis hawkesiana (King & Pantl.) C.S.
Kumar, syn. Habenaria hawkesiana King & Pantl,
1897; Platanthera hawkesiana (King & Pantl.)
Kraenzl., 1899. This has required a change of grex parentage
in the register.
Cynorkis Kewensis grex
There are several errors that have come to light surrounding
the identity of the pollen parent of this early orchid hybrid,
which was first published in The Orchid Review 1903: 219.
In Kew Bull. Misc. Info. 1904(App. 3): 68 and Rolfe
& Hurst, The Orchid Studbook 1909: 72, the pollen
parent appears as Cynorkis purpurata. This is evidently
an error for Cynorkis purpurascens Thouars, 1822.
Recent revisionary work on Cynorkis by Johan Hermans,
has also revealed an error in identification. It appears that
the actual plant used as the pollen parent of this cross at Kew
was Cynorkis calanthoides Kraenzlin, which has
for some time been treated as a synonym of Cynorkis purpurascens,
but is now recognised as an earlier name for the species that
has been known as Cynorkis uncinata Perrier.
According to the ICNCP At. 3.6 &3.7, when a parent of a grex
is changed the parentage is to be re-stated, rather than a new
grex being created for the new hybrid combination. Consequently
the parentage is re-stated here. Cynorkis Kewensis gx
= Cyn. lowiana x Cyn. calanthoides.

253-255 (Sept. 2007).
Validation of names in Stenoglottis Lindl.
For some 30 years Joyce Stewart has cultivated a white
flowered form of Stenoglottis woodii Schltr., which she
collected on 21st October 1976 from the wild in South Africa,
Kwa-Zulu Natal, about 1.5 miles from Port Edward on the Inzingolweni
Road, the farm Beacon Hill, growing on rock ledges on a kopje.
Since it is of wild origin a botanical epithet is here provided.
Stenoglottis woodii Schltr. forma galantha
J.M.H.Shaw f. nov. A forma typica sed floribus albis
differt. Holotypus: Stewart 1810 (WSY).
As cultivated in the UK, the plant flowers in August-September.
The plant may be distinguished from Stenoglottis woodii
f. woodii by its milk-white flowers. Some newly opened
flowers have a few purple spots on the labellum which soon fade
away.
Another plant which was recently used as the parent of the
registered grex Stenoglottis Mission in Motion (J. Truter,
2007) is also without a valid name. It has been known by the
provisional name Stenoglottis ﾒmolweniensisﾓ G. McDonald
in South African Orchid Journal 26(4): 117 (1996), which name
is here validated. The epithet refers to the Molweni River valley
where the plant may be found growing on soil banks on the edge
of sheer cliffs.
Stenoglottis molweniensis J.M.H.Shaw ex G. McDonald
sp. nov. S. woodii Schltr. affinis, sed labello
ecalcarato; lobulis lateralibus fimbriatis irregulatim notabilis.
S. longifoliae Hook. primo adspectu maxime simile, sed
foliis integris, non undulatis; labello lobulis lateralibus fimbriatis
brevioribus. Holotypus: Stewart 2275 (WSY), collected
by a student of Joyce Stewartﾕs from an unknown locality inland
from Durban, Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa, prior to May 1982.
The holotype has been prepared from cultivated material.
The suggestion is made by J. Stewart (The Kew Magazine, 6(1):11,
1989) that this plant may represent the hybrid S. woodii
x S. longifolia, which seems a reasonable assumption given
its intermediate characters. However, G. McDonald (l.c. 1996)
thinks this is unlikely since he has found substantial populations
at a number at disjunct sites along the Molweni River valley,
with uniform floral morphology. J. Truter (pers. Com.) has also
found it at other localities in Natal. This suggests that if
it is a hybrid it is not of very recent origin. The artificial
hybrid S. woodii x S. longifolia has been made
by several hybridists including J. Truter in South Africa and
S. Walter in USA who registered it as Longwood grex in October
2000. He described the resulting flowers as ﾔmainly white, 11
mm high by 7 mm wide, similar in form to flowers of the pod parent
(S. woodii), though with more pink spotting, especially
on the lip.ﾕ A colour slide exists in the collection at WSY,
which has not yet been seen.
Joyce Stewart still maintains the type clone in cultivation and
it flowers every year in UK in September. (S. longifolia
does not usually flower in the UK until October-November).
The registrar would like to express his gratitude to Joyce Stewart
for providing the type specimens and sharing her wide knowledge
of the plants.
Establishment of cultivar epithets.
