from the University of South Florida, I wish to note that I am very aware of the changes being made to orchid nomenclature based on DNA studies. Many of the changes are not new and the genera being used were actually established in the 1800’s but were ignored until they conveniently fit the DNA data. Some of the changes I agree with but, some I totally disagree with. Placing Laelia tenebarosa in the genus Sophronitis demonstrates that something is seriously wrong with the data that led to this conclusion. Recently they have changed their minds and placed Sophronitis in Cattleya. I guess the next step will be to combine all the genera in this group into the genus Epidendrum. The orchid family is a horticulturally important group and this should be taken into consideration before making drastic nomenclatural changes. It suffices to recognize that sections are distinct groups without the need to raise them to generic level. I feel that many of these changes are not necessary and just lead to confusion among orchid hobbyists. Therefore, unless they are generic names that have been in use, I do not plan to use them on my web site or on my labels at this time.
