Yes Bob but at least I know that you are referring to an orchid,
Cychnoches, and not an iris, so that I will not spend weeks looking for
such a beast in all my iris books. Therefore botanical names are
important when dealing with species and in hybridizing records - if
properly kept.
My 2 cents worth.
