Neofinetia vs. Vanda falcata

[K-Sci]

I'd like to get some opinions on the following.

"The earliest documented references to the Japanese Wind Orchid, Fuuran (風蘭) in Romanized Japanese, are from the latter half of the 1600s. About 100 years later, the collecting and cultivating of Fuuran was reaching its peak of popularity with Japanese of wealth and rank called fuuki (富貴). Combined with the Romanized Japanese word for "orchid", ran (蘭), the Furran varieties prized and collected by Japanese fuuki were called “fuukiran” (富貴蘭), ”Rich and Valuable Orchid”.

The first taxonomic naming of the species Vanda falcata was in 1784 when Carl Peter Thunberg presented the new Asian species to European taxonomists naming it Orchis falcata. It was subsequently moved from genus to genus several times until 1925 when H. H. Hu created the new genus Neofinetia (nee-oh-fi-NET-ee-ah) with falcata as the only member species. It remained the sole species in the genus for 71 years, until 1996 when Neofinetia richardsiana was added as a second Neofinetia species. Eight years later, in 2004, a larger plant similar to richardsiana was given the species name Neofinetia xichangensis bringing the number of Neofinetia species to three.

The next change to the Neofientia genus camei in 2012. All three Neofinetia species were reclassified by placing them in the Vanda genus. For those having difficulty transitioning to the name Vanda falcata your are at liberty to continue using the old name. The name Neofinetia falcata is still a synonym for Vanda falcata. The Botanical Codes of nomenclature, unlike those for Zoology, state dictate that the old name of a species, though technically inaccurate, is still a name for the species.

This means for those who struggle to change what they call their “Neofinetia,” there is nothing wrong with relaxing, enjoying life, and continuing to call them Neofinetia.”
