Remarks
Almeida published ‘Luisia laurifolia (Lindl.) Almeida (comb. nov.)’ and based it on ‘Cymbidium laurifolium Lindl., Gen. & Sp. Orchid. 167, 1833’. He cited ‘Luisia birchea Bl. in Rumphia 4: 50, 1849 & in Mus. Bot. Lugd. Bat. 1: 64, 1899 … (pro parte)’, ‘Luisia tennuifolia auct. non (L.) Blume, Rumphia 4: 50, 1849]’ …, ‘Birchea teretifolia A. Rich., Ann. Sci. nat. Bot. Ser.2, 15: 67, t. 10, 1841 (non L. teretifolia Gaudich., 1829 (‘1826’))’, ‘Cymbidium tenuifolium [sensu] Lindl., Gen. & Sp. Orch. 167, 1833. (non [L.] Willd. 1805)’, and ‘Cymbidium triste Wight, Icon. t. 911, 1844 (non Willd. 1800)’ as synonyms. The cited basionym ‘Cymbidium laurifolium Lindl. (1833)’ is an error; the name was never published. Alternatively, L. laurifolia is treated here as a nom. nov. for Birchea teretifolia A. Rich. (non L. teretifolia Gaudich. 1829)
