Rhyncholaelia
''Rhyncholaelia'', abbreviated ''Rl.'' in the horticultural trade, is a genus of orchids (family Orchidaceae), comprising two species. They are distributed in Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras. Both species were originally published in ''Brassavola'' by Lindley. In 1918, Schlechter erected the new genus ''Rhyncholaelia'' and moved ''Brassavola digbyana'' Lindl. 1846 and ''Brassavola glauca'' Lindl. John Lindley FRS (5 February 1799 – 1 November 1865) was an English botanist, gardener and orchidologist.

Laelia Aurea
''Laelia'' is a small genus of 25 species in the orchid family (Orchidaceae). ''Laelia'' species are found in areas of subtropical or temperate climate in Central and South America, but mostly in Mexico. ''Laelia'' is abbreviated ''L.'' in the horticultural trade. Description Mostly epiphyte herbs (with a few lithophytes) with laterally compressed pseudobulbs. One to four leathery or fleshy leaves are born near the top of each pseudobulb, and can be broadly ovate to oblong. The inflorescence is a terminal raceme (rarely a panicle). The flowers have 8 pollinia; petals are of a thinner texture than the sepals; sepals and petals are of similar shape, but the sepals being narrower; the lip or labellum is free from the arched flower column. Distribution Species of ''Laelia'' can be found from western Mexico south to Bolivia, from sea level to mountain forests. Taxonomy The genus ''Laelia'' was described as part of subfamily Epidendroideae by John Lindley. Brazilian ''Laelias'', af ...

Laelia Rubescens
''Laelia rubescens'' is a species of orchid native to Mexico and Central America. Distribution ''Laelia rubescens'' is native to the Central American countries Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and much of Southern/Central Mexico. It also occurs in the wild in Florida and Cuba as an escapee from cultivation, having been intentionally introduced as an ornamental plant. ''Laelia rubescens'' grows in seasonally dry, deciduous forests as an epiphyte and occasionally as a lithophyte Lithophytes are plants that grow in or on rocks.

Cattleya Amethystoglossa
''Cattleya amethystoglossa'' (the "amethyst-lipped Cattley flower") is a bifoliate species of orchid from the genus ''Cattleya''. ''C. amethystoglossa'' is native to Brazil in the states of Bahia and possibly EspÃrito Santo, where it is found near sea level in close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. ''C. amethystoglossa'' grows on palm tree trunks, rock, and large tree branches high in the canopy of evergreen trees. This plant is found growing in bright, airy, humid locations. Its native range has been greatly reduced due to habitat destruction Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby ..., logging, and agriculture. ''C. amethystoglossa'' is a tall plant and has pseudobulbs that grow to tall.

× Cattlianthee
The multiplication sign, also known as the times sign or the dimension sign, is the symbol , used in mathematics to denote the multiplication operation and its resulting product. While similar to a lowercase X (), the form is properly a four-fold rotationally symmetric saltire. History The earliest known use of the symbol to represent multiplication appears in an anonymous appendix to the 1618 edition of John Napier's . This appendix has been attributed to William Oughtred, who used the same symbol in his 1631 algebra text, , stating:"Multiplication of species .e. unknownsconnects both proposed magnitudes with the symbol 'in' or : or ordinarily without the symbol if the magnitudes be denoted with one letter." Two earlier uses of a notation have been identified, but do not stand critical examination. Uses In mathematics, the symbol × has a number of uses, including * Multiplication of two numbers, where it is read as "times" or "multiplied by" * Cross product of two vect ...

× Laeliocattleya
''Laeliocattleya'' is a nothogenus of intergeneric orchid hybrids descended from the parental genera ''Laelia'' and ''Cattleya''. It is abbreviated Lc. in the horticultural trade. Due to the recent decision by the Royal Horticultural Society (the international orchid registration authority) to recognize the reduction of the Brazilian ''Laelia'' species and the entire genus ''Sophronitis'' to synonymy under ''Cattleya'', many hybrids which had previously been described as ''Laeliocattleya'' hybrids are now classified as ''Cattleya'' hybrids.

Labellum (botany)
In botany, the labellum (or lip) is the part of the flower of an orchid or '' Canna'', or other less-known genera, that serves to attract insects, which pollinate the flower, and acts as a landing platform for them. ''Labellum'' (plural: ''labella'') is the Latin diminutive of ''labrum'', meaning lip. The labellum is a modified petal and can be distinguished from the other petals and from the sepals by its large size and its often irregular shape. It is not unusual for the other two petals of an orchid flower to look like the sepals, so that the labellum stands out as distinct. Bailey, L. H. ''Gentes Herbarum: Canna x orchiodes''. (Ithaca), 1 (3): 120 (1923); Khoshoo, T. N. & Guha, I. ''Origin and Evolution of Cultivated Cannas.'' Vikas Publishing House. In orchids, the labellum is the modified median petal that sits opposite from the fertile anther and usually highly modified from the other perianth segments. It is often united with the column and can be hinged or movable, fac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Grex (horticulture)
The term ''grex'' (plural ''greges'' or ''grexes''; abbreviation gx), derived from the Latin language, Latin noun , , meaning 'flock', has been expanded in botanical nomenclature to describe hybrids of orchids, based solely on their parentage. Grex names are one of the three categories of plant names governed by the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants; within a grex the ''cultivar group'' category can be used to refer to plants by their shared characteristics (rather than by their parentage), and individual orchid plants can be selected (and propagated) and named as cultivars. Botanical nomenclature of hybrids The horticultural nomenclature of grexes exists within the framework of the botanical nomenclature of hybrid plants. Interspecific hybrids occur in nature, and are treated under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants as nothospecies, ('notho' indicating hybrid). They can optionally be given Linnean Binomial nomenclature, bin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
