Schlechter began by noting that species of Cycnoches had begun to appear in German collections over the past few years and that their identification was quite difficult even for experts.
Schlechter's revision is an important contribution to the knowledge of the genus Cycnoches.
He particularly criticized Schlechter for retaining as valid in his Revision what Allen considered to be doubtful species and adding to the situation in his description of the new species, seven of which are in the Heteranthae.

When in 1840, Gottfried and FriedrichSchlechter, great-great-grandfather of the three persons of Marklendorf from Murr at the Neckar, went to Bessarabia, the huge wave of migration to America which Gottfried's three sons joined around 1860 started.
