Somehow I only just received this ancient thread forwarded via the Digest but 
a year out, it is timely for me. 

In the past I'd noticed the "similarity" of the two species as reflected by 
the plants in our collection here at BBG (Brooklyn Botanic Garden) but never 
gotten around to really looking into it; to complicate it even more there are 
images of Lepanthes cordeliae, on line, that are identical as well. As it 
turns out, in the last couple of days I was thinking I needed to get some 
clarity on the wonderful identical plants we have carrying three different 
names.  I am pretty sure most of those attributed as cordeliae are wrong but 
it does highlight how misidentifications of similar - or even not so similar 
- species get propagated very easily and quickly via the internet so that our 
understanding of what something "is" can be very off the mark.

As I do not have access to the Icones or Selbyana myself at the moment to 
compare, was there ever any result or follow up clarifying these species?

Hello, I have a Lepanthes adrianae (labelled as such from Ecuagenera). It 
looks very similar to web photos of Lepanthes sijmii. Both were described by 
Luer and Sijm in Selbyana 23(1) which I don't have. Does anyone have a scan 
of the type drawings of each? Did Luer ever publish these in ICONES 
Pleurothallidarium? Thank you, Bill
