An interesting side note. This Onc. was registered in 1910 by Charlesworth Ltd. I also have a Bc. Hippodamia in bud now and I looked it up in Orchidwiz today to see what the flower is going to look like. The name was also registered by Charlesworth Ltd. On Orchidwiz I see there are quite a few hybrids they named after themselves, and there must be many more with other names, just like Hippodamia. They must have been quite an operation over a century ago.
