Laeliocattleya (compounded from Laelia and Cattleya). Orchidaceae. A name proposed by R. A.
Rolfe to designate the bigeneric hybrids of Laelia and of Cattleya, which readily hybridize. The
species of the two genera have eight and four pollen masses respectively, while the hybrids are
irregular in this respect. Many of the plants are natural hybrids, and many others have been
produced by artificial crossing. For a list of laeliocattleyas, see Rolfe in G.C. III. 6:78, 155. In the following account L. —Laelia; Lc. —Laeliocattleya; C.— Cattleya.
The cultivation of laeliocattleyas is the same as for laelia and cattleya. It is therefore important to know the parentage in each case, from which one may know whether warm or coolhouse
treatment is needed. Many laeliocattleyas are of such a vigorous constitution that they are nearly
always in growth.
