Lowiara. A generic name for a garden hybrid (Stuart Low & Co., England) between Sophronitis grandiflora and Brassolaelia "Helen." The name follows the form of Linneara and Adamara (which see). The hybrid is Lowiara insignia, Rolfe. "The fls. show much of the Sophronitis character, but the sepals are not widely spreading; the sepals and petals are 2 ½ in. long, the latter nearly 1 ¼ in. broad, and the color dark rosy salmon; the lip is 2 in. long and entire, with an undulate crenulate margin, and the color rose-purple with a yellowish white throat; the column is broad, whitish and over ½ n. long."
