Dear Mr Danell,
We checked again the name,
this time with Kew Garden.
The real name is
Chiloschista viridiflava Seidenf.
You can try it by yourself:
http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/qsearch.do
For the other variation (chiloschista viridiflora) which is also covered in Queen Sirikits Book,
there are no search results at Kew Garden,
which is an expert in orchidology.

I also need to know which spelling is correct: Nervillea (According to GBIF and Nantiya’s orchid book) or Nervilia (according to QSBG and Smitinand’s checklist)? I can only accept an answer from somebody who checked the actual protologue, as errors can be repeated and perpetuated on internet. Thanks again, Eric Danell, Dokmai Garden.

This is a lovely orchid site! We just received a donation, an orchid collection, to Dokmai Garden, and we currently establish a catalogue. I need to know for sure if it is Chiloschista viridiflora or viridflava, as Queen Sirikit Botanical Garden as well as Smitinand’s checklist claims “viridiflora”. I do not have accss to the protologue – has anyone seen it (Orchids-flowers April 19th)?
Thanks, Eric Danell, scientific consultant at Dokmai Garden, Chiang Mai. http://www.dokmaidogma.wordpress.com
