Cattleya Valentine (1900)

Cattleya Valentine (1937)

Cattleya Valentine (1954)

I suspect that there might be duplicate Oncidium and Vanda names but it is not a worry because the year will always appear.

RHS Database address is http://apps.rhs.org.uk/horticulturaldatabase/orchidregister/orchidregister.asp

I have seen this a few times when I am tracking down names. I am somewhat curious to know why this not harmonized, but I guess it is not really a problem for the tag.

Hi Darlene, sorry that I do not understand what you mean by not harmonized.

When you find the duplicate in the database the info. on the tag will help. For example Cattleya Valentine (1954) was Slc. prior to the major raft of changes.

Haven't found all that many, just stumbled on a few when typing up orchid society results.

Here is what the entry in the RHS Register looks like.
