Dear Ms. Arbo,

If Kraenzlin described this species from the Berlin herbarium, where he 
worked, then the type, Fiebrig 4937, has most likely been lost. However, he 
often kept fragments for his private herbarium. TL-2 reports that that was 
acquired by Berlin. Hoewever, my orchid friends here tell me that it has 
miraculously survived and is now in Hamburg.

The Index herbariorum II, 2 (1957) reports the presence of Fiebrig material 
in A, AS, B, BAF, BM, BRG, BRSL, E, F, G, GH, GOET, K, L, LD, M, MO, NY, P, 
POM, S, SI, U, US, W. So plenty of chances that an isotype is pressent in 
some of them
I have checked our holdings (L) and have not found it. It is also not 
listed for U, but may not have been detected as a type.

Happy week-end,

JeF
