Charles François Antoine Morren
Charles François Antoine Morren (3 March 1807 in Ghent – 17 December 1858 in Liège), was a Belgian botanist and horticulturist, and Director of the ''Jardin botanique de l'Université de Liège''. Morren is credited with introducing the term "phenology" in 1853. His position at the University of Liege was taken up in 1858 by his son Charles Jacques Édouard Morren. Life and work Morren was born in Ghent and went to study in Brussels where he was a student of Abbé Van Brabant. He also attended the lectures of Adolphe Quetelet at the Athénée, as well as those by Dekin on natural history, Laisné on chemistry, Jean Kickx (1775-1831) and Pierre-Léonard Vander Linden. He taught physics at Ghent University between 1831 and 1835. At the same time he studied medicine and graduated in 1835. He became Professor extraordinarius of botany at the University of Liège from 1835 to 1837, and full professor from 1837 to 1854. Pollination of ''Vanilla'' orchids is required to make th ...

Laeliinae
Laeliinae is a Neotropical subtribe including 40 orchid genera, such as '' Brassavola'', ''Laelia'' and ''Cattleya''. The genus ''Epidendrum'' is the largest within this subtribe, containing about 1500 species. This is followed by the genus ''Encyclia'', with over 120 species.

Formula Hybridae
In science, a formula is a concise way of expressing information symbolically, as in a mathematical formula or a ''chemical formula''. The informal use of the terminology, term ''formula'' in science refers to the Commensurability (philosophy of science), general construct of a relationship between given quantities. The plural of ''formula'' can be either ''formulas'' (from the most common English plurals#Regular plurals, English plural noun form) or, under the influence of scientific Latin, ''formulae'' (from the Latin influence in English, original Latin). In mathematics In mathematics, a formula generally refers to an equation or Inequality (mathematics), inequality relating one mathematical expression to another, with the most important ones being Mathematical theorem, mathematical theorems. For example, determining the volume of a sphere requires a significant amount of integral calculus or its Geometry, geometrical analogue, the method of exhaustion. However, having don ...

Cattleya Purpurata
''Cattleya purpurata'', known in the past as ''Laelia purpurata'' and ''Sophronitis purpurata'', is native to Brazil where it is very popular among orchid growers. It is an epiphyte that is found in the canopy of tall trees near coastal areas, in the Brazilian states of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and São Paulo. The orchid favors bright light and cool to warm conditions and is relatively easy to cultivate. ''C. purpurata'' has been used extensively as a parent in hybridizing with Cattleyas. ''Cattleya purpurata'' blooms from late spring to fall with three to five flowers on a spike. The flowers are long-lasting and fragrant. Horticultural forms * C. purpurata f. alba; white lip, sepals and petals * C. purpurata f. carnea; pink lip, white sepals and petals * C. purpurata f. flammea; magenta lip, pink sepals and white petals * C. purpurata f. oculata; purple patches on lip, white sepals and petals * C. purpurata f. roxo-violeta; light reddish pur ...

Tropicos
Tropicos is an online botanical database containing taxonomic information on plants, mainly from the Neotropical realm ( Central, and South America South America is a continent entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a considerably smaller portion in the Northern Hemisphere. It can also be described as the southern Subregion#Americas, subregion o ...). It is maintained by the Missouri Botanical Garden and was established in 1982. The database contains images and taxonomical and bibliographical data on more than 4.2 million herbarium specimens. In addition, it contains data on over 49,000 scientific publications. The database can be queried in English, French, and Spanish. The oldest records in the database go back to 1703. Establishment Tropicos was developed by Garden botanist Dr. Robert Magill in the early 1980s, initially on a tiny Osborne 01 microcomputer. He is currently working as Tropicos’ research staff.

Plants Described In 1848
Plants are the eukaryotes that form the kingdom Plantae; they are predominantly photosynthetic. This means that they obtain their energy from sunlight, using chloroplasts derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria to produce sugars from carbon dioxide and water, using the green pigment chlorophyll. Exceptions are parasitic plants that have lost the genes for chlorophyll and photosynthesis, and obtain their energy from other plants or fungi. Most plants are multicellular, except for some green algae. Historically, as in Aristotle's biology, the plant kingdom encompassed all living things that were not animals, and included algae and fungi. Definitions have narrowed since then; current definitions exclude fungi and some of the algae. By the definition used in this article, plants form the clade Viridiplantae (green plants), which consists of the green algae and the embryophytes or land plants (hornworts, liverworts, mosses, lycophytes, ferns, conifers and other gymnosperm ...

Cattleya
''Cattleya'' () is a genus of orchids from Costa Rica south to Argentina. The genus is abbreviated C in trade journals. Description Epiphyte, Epiphytic or terrestrial orchids with cylindrical rhizome from which the fleshy noodle-like roots grow. Pseudobulbs can be conical, spindle-shaped or cylindrical; with upright growth; one or two leaves growing from the top of them. The leaves can be oblong, lanceolate or elliptical, somewhat fleshy, with smooth margin. The inflorescence is a terminal raceme with few or several flowers. Flowers have sepals and petals free from each other; the Labellum (botany), lip or labellum (lowermost petal), usually has a different coloration and shape from the rest of the flower and covers in part the Column (botany), flower column forming a tube. There are four pollinia (bag-like organs that contain pollen). The fruit is a capsule with many small seeds.Schweinfurth, C., "Orchidaceae, Orchids of Peru", ''Fieldiana, Botany'' 30(3): 535 Taxonomy The ...

Orchids Of Brazil
Orchids are plants that belong to the family Orchidaceae (), a diverse and widespread group of flowering plants with blooms that are often colourful and fragrant. Orchids are cosmopolitan plants that are found in almost every habitat on Earth except glaciers. The world's richest diversity of orchid genera and species is in the tropics. Orchidaceae is one of the two largest families of flowering plants, the other being the Asteraceae. It contains about 28,000 currently accepted species in 702 genera. The Orchidaceae family encompasses about 6–11% of all species of seed plants. The largest genera are ''Bulbophyllum'' (2,000 species), ''Epidendrum'' (1,500 species), ''Dendrobium'' (1,400 species) and ''Pleurothallis'' (1,000 species). It also includes ''Vanilla'' (the genus of the vanilla plant), the type genus ''Orchis'', and many commonly cultivated plants such as ''Phalaenopsis'' and ''Cattleya''.
