Encyclia clarencianum confirmed to be Encyclia parkeri










Encyclia clareneanum ( confession- this is a code species name I have been telling the centers they can use when they have a sp. that needs an award.   Turns out Clarence has never done enough in Botany to get either a genus or a species named after him- ever. So they can award the specimen with this name and we will know that it is a sp.   I would rather they do this than let award able plants be recognized and rather than making up or just using name names that we don't know about and have to rule out)
