Hasn't that been synonymised with Zamia pumila (and thus is no longer endemic)? Guettarda 02:25, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As always you seem to be correct. I have yet to find the paper where it was synonimzed but the USDA website does have it as a synonym. [1] Joelito (talk) 02:35, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I found a good reference. I believe that Liogier's 2001(?) checklist followed Eckenwalder in synonymising them, but Acevedo's work now stands as the most authoritative for Zamia is PR, so I would be inclined to include it, together with his note. Guettarda 20:11, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The image of Psychilis is that of Tolumnia variegata and the Genus is Encyclia, not Encylcis

An anon added (part in italics)

This is indeed true. Tolumnia variegata is in the tribe Cymbidieae, Psychilis is in the tribe Epidendrae. Morphologically and florally they are grossly different, the inclusion of this photo on the page is a source of confusion, someone misidentified this plant and then wrongly included the photo here perpetuating the error. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.50.55.236 (talk) 03:04, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the picture. When you find a problem on wikipedia, feel free to correct it. Thanks. --
