It seems hard to follow how the craze for the cultivation of Orchids could so affect the Professor's dried collections and drawings, especially when they were under the care of an institution like the Imperial Hof Museum, one of the leading botanical repositories of its day.
Reichenbach was brought up in a scientific atmosphere, and when a youth, assisted his father in the preparation of the latter's monumental work, lcones F/orae Germanicae et He/veticae (Illustrations of the Flora of Germany and Switzerland).
He was an accomplshed artist, and issued many plates in fl and white and in colour of Orchids drawn by himself.

In 1852, Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach, normally referred to in botanical literature as Reichenbach filius because his father was also a prominent taxonomist, was twenty-four years younger than Lindley and was just beginning what was to be a long and illustrious career in orchidology (Reinekka 1972).
Reichenbach was evidently influenced by the then current theory that Cycnoches was in a "sportive condition".
Since Reichenbach's will specified that his herbarium was to be sealed for twenty-five years after his death, neither Rolfe nor Schlechter had access to the material.
