Lacaena (one of the names of Helen, which Lindley states may be applied to this plant on account of its beauty; but he adds it may also be derived from Lakis, a cleft, alluding to the divisions of the lip). Orchidaceae. A little-known group of epiphytic orchids inhabiting Central America and Mexico.
Pseudobulbs rather long, ovoid, smooth at first: lvs. large, elliptic-pointed and contracted into a petiole, plicate venose: raceme pendent from the base of the pseudobulbs, loose, bearing up to 10 medium-sized fls.; sepals and petals nearly equal, elliptical, half-spreading; labellum equaling the petals, articulated to the base of the column, clawed, with the lateral lobes incurved, terminal larger, spreading and narrowed at the base to a broad claw; column rather long, winged, hooded at the top; pollinia 2 on a simple stipe.—Only 2 species.
The plants should be grown in baskets or on blocks of wood like stanhopeas: if potted the racemes are likely to bury themselves in the soil. At the end of October, water should be almost entirely withheld for a few weeks. The flower-stalks appear in spring.
Lacaena bicolor, Lindl. (Lueddemannia Sanderiana, Kranzl.). Racemes drooping, about 18 in. long, bearing 9 or 10 fls.; fls. greenish yellow, covered externally with short hairs; petals with 3 purple streaks;labellum hairy, spotted with purple. Discovered about 1843 in Guatemala, at an elevation of 7,000 ft. B.R. 30:50. Var. glabrata, Lem. Fls. everywhere nearly glabrous, creamy white. Not in the American trade. I.H. 1:33. Var. alba, Hort. Fls. yellowish white, without purple markings.
Lacaena spectabilis, Reichb. f. Fls. about 1 in. diam., whitish, suffused with pink and speckled with purple; sepals concave orbicular; petals smaller, connivent. Costa Rica. Mex. (?). B.M. 6516.—Far more handsome than the former, but not advertised in Amer.
Lace-Bark: Lagetta; also Gaya and Hoheria.
Lace-Leaf, Lattice-Leaf: Aponogeton.
