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.

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 or habitat reduction) occurs when a natural habitat is no longer able to support its native species. The organisms once living there have either moved elsewhere, or are dead, leading to a decrease ..., logging, and agriculture. ''C. amethystoglossa'' is a tall plant and has pseudobulbs that grow to tall. Each pseudobulb has two (occasionally three) leathery, green leaves ...

× Cattlianthee
The multiplication sign (), also known as the times sign or the dimension sign, is a mathematical symbol used to denote the operation of multiplication, which results in a product. The symbol is also used in botany, in botanical hybrid names. The form is properly a four-fold rotationally symmetric saltire. The multiplication sign is similar to a lowercase X (). History The earliest known use of the symbol to indicate 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. Other works have been identified in which crossed diagonals appear in diagrams involving multiplied numbers, such as Robert Recorde's '' The Ground of Arts'' and Oswald Schrecke ...

× Laeliocattleya
''Laeliocattleya'' is a nothogenus of intergeneric orchid Hybrid (biology), 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 (e.g. ''C''. George Cutler). The nothogenus name × ''Sophrolaelia'' (for hybrids between ''Sophronitis'' and ''Laelia'') is now a synonym of × ''Laeliocattleya''. List of grexes * ''Laeliocattleya'' (syn.

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 sepal A sepal () is a part of the flower of angiosperms (flowering plants). Usually green, sepals typically function as protection for the flower in bud, and often as support for the petals when in bloom., p. 106 Etymology The term ''sepalum'' ...s 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''.

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] |
