Species |
|
Originally, the concept Cattleya included a requirement that the
pollinarium contain only four pollinia. Starting some time after
December, 2000, the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) began
re-organizing the generic boundaries with respect to hybrid
registration. This has led to multiple senses of the term Cattleya,
not only with respect to species, but also with respect to hybrids. |

Named
after William Cattleya. These orchids are the most sumptuous and
exotic of all and are chosen for corsages. In nature there are about
50 species each of Cattleya and of Laelia from Central America,
growing through the Amazon region to the south of Brazil. Many
cattleya hybrids in the broad sense have other related genera in
their parentage as x Brassocattleya, x Brassolaeliocattleya, x
Laeliocattleya, x Sophrolaeliocattleya.
Their distinctive flowers and the tendency of these plants to
grow in large colonies has meant that they have been vigorously
over-collected and the status of many is endangered. The plants
produce strong pseudo bulbs' topped with one or more leathery
leaves. Each year a dormant bud at the base grows into a new shoot.
This thickens to produce the current year's pseudo bulb. The flowers
arise from the tip of the current year's growth and come in a range
of colors. Some flower twice a year. |

Cattleya is a genus of 113 species of orchids from Costa Rica to
tropical South America. The genus was named in 1824 by John Lindley
after Sir William Cattley who received and successfully cultivated
specimens of Cattleya labiata that were used as packing material in
a shipment of other orchids made by William Swainson. The genus is
abbreviated C in trade journals.
They are widely known for their large, showy flowers, and were
used extensively in hybridization for the cut-flower trade until
quite recently. This genus and the numerous hybrids come close,
through their beauty, to the idealized picture we have of the
orchids. The flowers of the hybrids can vary in size from 5 cm to 15
cm or more. They occur in all colors except true blue and black.
The typical flower has three rather narrow sepals and three
usually broader petals : two petals are similar to each other, and
the third is the quite different conspicuous lip, featuring various
markings and specks and an often frilly margin. At the base, the
margins are folded into a tube. Each flower stalk originates from a
pseudobulb. The number of flowers varies; it can be just one or two,
or sometimes up to ten. |
