About the name...
Etymology of Scelochilus   From latinized Greek "skelos" shinbone, limb; "cheilos" lip; there are horn-like structures on the rim of the lip. (Source: Mayr & Schmucker 1998)
Etymology of sp.   An abbreviation of the word "species," it indicates that based on the provenance of the plant it is believed to be naturally occurring, but the identity is as yet undetermined. (Source: Troy Meyers)
Pronunciation of Scelochilus   skel-OK-i-lus (Source: Hawkes 1978)
Pronunciation of sp.   Here, we say "spuh" rather than "species" to convey without explanation that it's an unidentified species. (Source: Troy Meyers)
