Coelogyne graminifolia

Coelogyne viscosa

Coel graminifolia name change

Hi Ken
This is another Coelogyne that has changed its name. It is now Coelogyne viscosa. I'm not having a go at you Ken but it annoys me that big nurseries who should know better keep selling plants under old names. Last week I even noticed one nursery selling this plant under both names!!! I will be pointing this out to him next month when I see him. All it does is confuse new Coelogyne growers.
Cheers
Kelpie
