Some orchids from California: 2-Miltoniopsis Hajime Ono 'Black Falls'-GSJUL04 : 4 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (2). I am somewhat confused with cultivar names of orchids. Having known that cultivar names are attached either to the species binomial or genus directly, I find several cultivar names in orchids for which I don't seem to have an explanation, 2 to three word name after the genus and before the cultivar name (within single quotes). May be ... is able to enlighten us and confirm the ID. It looks like a cultigen of a cultivar :). I get confused between cultigen and cultivars !!! But I dont think this is Miltoniopsis Hajime Ono 'Black Falls' but something very close. They always have a commercial name which differs from the taxonomic names. Like a hypothecial example, Dendrobium affine 'Amitabh Bacchan'. Now if someone produces a next hybrid or among the former there is a plant which looks a bit different then may be he will name it Dendrobium Amitabh Bacchan 'Avishek'. |
