Smbctna or Ctph

[JPO]

Hi, I am new to the board, first post. While entering my collection into "My Orchid Database", I was perplexed on the correct genera of one of my orchids. I purchased a Smbctna Garnet Glory 'Juno Beach' HCC/AOS awhile back. I was trying to find the correct name for Smbctna and discovered that it was also a Ctph. Since I am not sure what either one stands for, thought someone could help me. Thanks.

Ctph = Cattoniphila
Smbc = Schombocattleya

There is no Smbctna

Bromecanthe Garnet Glory
(Guaritonia Why Not x Myrmecophila thomsoniana)

Prior: known as Cattoniphila Garnet Glory

So...the correct name of your little beauty (it's gorgeous!) is:

Brm Garnet Glory


"They" like to keep us on our toes, don't they?

Thanks for the info.

You're welcome

What else do you grow?

[JPO]

Mostly cats and cat hybrids. Have some dens and den hybrids, phals, vandas, etc. Have about 300 on the patio. Do not have a greenhouse, so really scramble when it gets cold in central FL.

At the time of the award, it was Smbcna (no "t"). Last I looked (which has been a while), AOS was maintaining that nothogenus name/abbreviation in its award registry, but RHS and WildCatt had picked up the then-new nothgenus name/abbreviation of Ctph. -- which caused the award not to be found in WildCatt ...
