Lightbulb More Catt Name Changes

So on page 334 of the May 2008 edition of "Orchids" magazine by the AOS, they report that there is light at the end of the Cattleya name change debate!! A gentleman by the name of Casio van den Berg (Im assuming hes a Dr.) published a paper formalizing the idea that all Sophronitis (including the former Laelia species that were placed in this group) should be renamed as just Cattleya!!! Guarianthe, Caularthron and Rhyncholaelia will stay as they are but the Catt genus will become much larger and easier to understand....as it should be! Many Lc and Sc hybrids will simply become Catt hybrids and many Blc hybrids will be just Rc. I love it when simplicity becomes all the rage!!

Im also really surprised no one has brought this topic up yet! I bet its posted somewhere else and I just havnt seen it. Either way, Im excited!!
