Brassavola digbyana => Rhyncholaelia digbyana
That digbyana was moved from Brassavola to Rhycholaelia is well known. When I look it up, I can see that this was based on a taxonomic paper dated 1918. However, it was clearly not acceoted at that time.
Does anyone know when this change was considered official?
