'''''Trevoria''''' is a [[genus]] of [[plant]]s in the [[orchidaceae|orchid family]]. It was described by FC Lehmann 1897 ser 3 vol21:345-346 in ''Gardeners Chronicle'' with a black and white picture of ''Trevoria chloris''.
(A photo of this single plant is also in the new vol 6 of the book ''NATIVE COLOMBIAN ORCHIDS: Volume 6: Supplement: Leucohyle-Zootrophion''
(1998). It grows under intermediate temperature and is found from Nicaragua & Costa Rica to Bolivia . The name is in honor of Sir Trevor Lawrence, a former president of The [[Royal Horticultural Society]].
For relatives of '''''Trevoria''''' see ''[[Stanhopeinae]]''.
==Species==
The representative species is ''Trevoria chloris''.
*''[[Trevoria chloris]]''
*''[[Trevoria escobariana]]''
*''[[Trevoria glumacea]]''
*''[[Trevoria lehmanii]]''
*''[[Trevoria zahlbuckneriana]]''
== Culture ==
The lava stone for culture is watered daily with 200 yS of a urea free mineral
NPK fertilizer, leaves should dry fast after they get wet to prevent leafe
spot fungi, every 10 days plants get organic fertilizer over the leaves in a
solution of up to 600yS, sometimes fish emulsion, sometimes sea weed
fertilizer (Bioalgen S90) or an amino acid fertilizer. Other Genera that grow
well on such stones is closely related Schlimia and also terrestrial
Polycycnis like morganii.
T chloris flowers are extremely fragrant and don't need to wait for
pollinators, they only open for a day.
Concerning sandwich mounts it should be mentioned that Coryanthes were found
to grow even better on sandwich mounts without bark, only Styrofoam (make sure
by calling the producer its free of Freon or similar toxic substances added to
prevent fire in some kinds of styrofoam), some large pieces of broken clay
pots and a bit FIBER peat fixed together with a cord made of synthetic
material. -Juergen Boehm Orchids
