Vol. 38, No. 10 - June-July, 2018
Genesee Region Orchid Society, Inc. http://www.geneseeorchid.org NEXT MEETING: The Picnic! July 21, 2018
ur Annual Picnic is the final GROS meeting Obefore we break for our summer vacation: there are no other meetings in July or August. The Picnic will be held on Saturday, July 21st this year. The location will be at Fran Murphy’s greenhouse in Victor, NY. Things get started around Noon, more or less.
Please watch your email for the address and for directions. In the spirit of maintaining some sort of privacy, we are not splashing Fran’s address all over the Web.
t will be a “simplified” sort of picnic this year, more of a tapa or appetizer (and desserts, of course) party. There will be a show table for your blooming orchid plants, and a “garage sale” I for members, of orchids and related supplies – no commission charged on sales at this spe- cial picnic meeting, as is our tradition.
lso, the summer is a good time to renew your membership in the club, if you have not already done so. Click on the “Vendors & Links” pull down tab in the menu area on our A website, and click on FORMS. You can download a form to fill out and either bring to the Picnic or mail in to our post office box. If you renewed at our last show, the April meeting, or at the May meeting, you are already renewed for this (next) year, 2018-2019.
he Picnic is free to all GROS members and their families. The weather is usually pretty good, and who knows what surprises Fran may have in store! T Don’t forget your flowering plants for the summer edition of IN THIS ISSUE: the Show Table. We’ll see you there! Meeting Minutes D2 Board Meeting Min.

Notes 1Epidendrum aromaticum is considered an illegitimate publication, meaning it didn’t follow the established publication rules. 2 (1964) is part of the name because when the powers that be decided this one was no longer a Laeliocattleya they ended up with two Irene Finneys and had to distinguish them. 3Tag listed as Via Abazon but there is no such registration. Via Cabazon is my best guess since it is only one letter different. Tags fade! 4Dendrobium superbum is considered an illegitimate publication, meaning it didn’t follow the established publication rules. 5Nearly all the Adas are now considered Brassias. - Margery Greene

This must have some historic reason, like the first one registered had the Cattleya as the pod parent and the Guarianthe as the seed parent. Otherwise the only reason would be to drive us all nuts. 3Per Kew, Symphyglossum sangineum (syn. Cochlioda sanginea) is a synonym for Oncidium sangineum and Symphyglossum strictum (syn. Cochlioda stricta) is a synonym for Oncidium strictum. The International Orchid Species Photo Encyclopedia (IOSPE) lists them as 2 separate Symphyglossum species. The only difference I can see in the photos is the lip color. Jay Pfahl (IOSPE) cites two taxonomists who considered them to be one species. Their ranges seem to overlap per the written description, without seeing a map graphic. - Margery Greene - Meeting Minutes, from Page 2
