Dear Taxacomers,

Apologies for sending this message to TAXACOM, it may fit better to a chat line, but I hope I can find an orchid person who can
help to my friend.

She wrote:

"My husband's aunt once said that an orchid is named for my husband's great-grandfather, when he manged a Dutch plantation in
Indonesia.  The last name was Loggers.  I tried loggers in the IPNI Query and pulled up nothing.  I've always thought it would
be neat to find the botanical article describing this orchid.  But I don't have the orchids name, only that the aunt thought
"loggers" was in the plant's name.  Do you know of any other on-line addresses I could check? "

Please, let me know, if you have any answer for her.

Many thanks and best regards,

Adolf
