Masdevallia davisii is a species of the orchid genus Masdevallia. It is known as the orchid of the sun and was known to the Incas as qoriwaqanki – due to its similarity in form to the red Masdevallia veitchiana, known as waqanki, it was named after Walter Davis who collected it near Cusco in Peru in 1873. Masdevallia davisii is grown cool and blooms in the late spring with a single brilliant yellow flower deep orange inside; the 6.5 to 9 cm flowers hold themselves high and appear successively on an erect, slender peduncle, 25 cm long. The flowers' predominant feature is their thickly textured and well-developed sepals, which end in three characteristic tails. Masdevallia davisii is found in growing on rocky slopes in Peru at elevations of between 3000 and 3600 metres. Masdevallia davisii can be grown in cool conditions in partial shade, it should be potted in fine bark with perlite or sphagnum moss and watered with the potting media kept moist. In 1873, Walter Davis was dispatched by James Veitch & Sons of Chelsea, London to collect samples of M. veitchiana and related species.

While collecting in the vicinity of Cusco, Davis found another unidentified Masdevallia species. He sent flowers to Heinrich Reichenbach for identification; the other parts of the flower are yellowish, white and of the deepest splendid orange inside. It was discovered by a, most new collector, Mr. W. Davis... I have a good opinion of this collector, introduced to me by a set of new dried Orchids. Masdevallia davisii flowered for the first time in England in August 1874 and gained favour, becoming cultivated in Europe for many years, but it disappeared from collections, joining the ranks of "lost" orchid species, before being re-introduced by David Wellisch of San Francisco in 1978 and by Berthold Wurstle of Spielberg, Germany in 1980.

Cellanus was the abbot of Péronne in Picardy. At the time, Péronne was known as Perrona Scottorum on account of its fame as a home to Irish peregrini, he was a penfriend and correspondent of Aldhelm, it is from a surviving letter that much of our knowledge of Cellanus originates. Ludwig Traube believed him to be identical with the Abbot Cellanus whose obit is recorded in the Annales Laureshamenses under 706. Traube furthermore attributed two hexameter poems to Cellanus. Cellanus was thought to have been the composer of a panegyric in honour of Saint Patrick after the manner of Virgil, inscribed on the walls of a basilica at Peronne, dedicated to Patrick. However, Lapidge attributes this to Abbot Boniface. Against this and Howlett, think the poem is Hiberno-Latin. On this subject, Charles D. Wright states: "One of these items... consists of verses for a chapel or oratory dedicated to PATRICK, BISHOP OF THE IRISH.... Traube attributed the poem — whose author was Irish — to Cellanus because in the other surviving copy it is followed... by the poem “Quid Vermendensis memorem tot milia plebis”... in which Cellanus names himself as well as his diocesan bishop, Transmarus of Noyon.

Traube left open the possibility that Cellanus commissioned the poem, since the lines “Haec modo Cellanus, uenerandi nominis abbas, / Iussit dactilico discriui carmina uersu” are ambiguous. Coccia thinks it more that the lines mean that Cellanus commissioned the poem, doubts that Cellanus himself would refer to himself so immodestly.... Traube’s attribution of the poem on St Patrick — which depends on the attribution of the one about Péronne — has been questioned, chiefly on the grounds that there is no evidence for a chapel dedicated to Patrick at Péronne.... Traube... did, cite explicit testimony from the ninth-century VIRTUTES S. FURSEI... that Fursa had brought to Péronne relics of Patrick as well as of Beoán and Meldán and interred them there, it is likely that this would have been in a chapel honored by a dedication."

Taius was a bishop of Zaragoza during the Visigothic period, from 651-664, succeeding his teacher Saint Braulius. His surname was Samuel. Taius, like Braulius and Bishop Ildefonsus, was a pupil of Saint Isidore of Seville. Taius was ordained as a priest in 632, served as an abbot in an unknown monastery. At the request of Quiricus of Barcelona, Taius compiled a collection of extracts from the work of Gregory the Great in 653–654. In 654 progress on the compilation was slowed by the revolt of Froia and the invasion of the Basques, he traveled to Rome, where he was sent to procure the third part of Gregory's Moralia missing in Spain. He received this work from Pope Martin I, his main work involved compiling others' works. In a letter to Eugene II of Toledo, he explained the plan of his writing and its relationship to Gregory’s model. During Froia's siege, Taius had been working on a revision of the Lex Visigothorum and was unable to leave the city; the result was what has been regarded as a “poorly organized” book called Sententiarum libri V, which drew upon the writings of Gregory and Saint Augustine, his only known work.

He participated in the Eighth Council of Toledo, the Ninth Council of Toledo and the Tenth Council of Toledo. Collins, Roger. Visigothic Spain, 409–711. Oxford: Blackwell Publishing, 2004.
