Note febr. 22, '08

In Dunsterville 1979 by mistake renamed to Epidendrum secundum, the confusion may have been caused by anceps-syn. Epidendrum secundum Swartz, as the "real" Ep. secundum is correctly named as Epidendrum secundum Jacq.The 4 photos from Suriname where originally uploaded as E. secundum, now corrected.
