What is the origin of the name "lowii" in the genera Dendrobium, Phal. and Paph.?
I just ordered a Paphiopedilum lowii and noticed that there are at least two othe "lowii" orchids: one a Phalaenopsis and one a Dendrobium. All have a natural range that at least includes the island of Borneo. How did they get the same name? Was it after an explorer, or who?
Just curious.
