Vuylstekeara, a multigeneric orchid hybrid embracing Cochlioda, Miltonia, and Odontoglossum. It bears the name of Charles Vuylsteke, of Ghent, Belgium, and the name is conformable with Adamara, Linneara, Lowiara, Wilsonara. Only two species or species-forms (very recent) are recorded, the first of which has been in doubt as to parentage. These are V. insignis, Hort., recorded (G.C. III. 56:14) as a hybrid of Miltonioda Bleuana and Odontioda Charlesworthii, bearing cream-white fls. with brownish spots; and V. Hyeana, Hort., a hybrid between Odontonia Lairesseae and Cochlioda Noezliana, with fls. 2 in. across with a cinnabar tint suffusing the greater part of the surface of the sepals and petals after the color of C. Noezliana, but with the form of fl. approaching O. Lairesseae especially in the center of the labellum, which is white tinged rose-color, and the base having a crest of yellow ridges on a red ground in front of which is a large shining brownish yellow raised blotch similar to that in Miltonia Warscewiczii.
