The Genus Brassavola, (L.) R.Br
The Genus Brassavola, (L.) R.Br. in W.T.Aiton, Hortus Kew. 5: 216 (1813) Type: Brassavola [B.] cucullata [bra-SAH-vo-la kyoo-kyoo-LAH-ta] There are 28 species (OrchidWiz [update Dec 2017]) that are epiphytes and sometimes lithophytes at elevations of from sea level to 3300 ft (1000 m) from Mexico, southern Caribbean islands to northern Argentina in moist or wet montane forests, mangroves, rocky crevices and cliff faces. They are most fragrant at night and many with a citrus smell. The genus is characterized by very small pencil-like pseudobulbs, often forming large clumps; a single, fleshy, apical, sub-terete leaf and the inflorescence produced form the apex of the pseudobulb. The inflorescence carries from a single to a few large flowers. The floral characteristics are elongate narrow similar sepals and petals, the base of the lip usually tightly rolled around at least a portion of the column which carries 12, sometimes eight unequal pollina with prominent opaque caudicles. The flowers usually occur, as a rule, in spring, summer and fall. The flowers are generally yellow to greenish white with a mostly white lip. It is not unusual for dark spots, usually purple, to be in the region where the sepals, petals, and lip join the stem (claw). This spotting is a dominant generic trait in Brassavola nodose. They are easily cultivated under intermediate conditions. Although this is a relatively small genus (28 species), the species show an unusually close relationship with one another in their floral patterns, coloration, and column structure making identification difficult, key to know where the plants were collected. -

Crippling American Cattleyas–
Crippling A Genetic issue in Yellow and Art-Shade Cattleyas And an update of primary hybrids associated with American Cattleyas – Species and Outstanding Clones that Defined American Hybridizing Emphasis on Primary Grexes In the June 2010 issue of Orchids, Ron Midgett discussed the little mention (but well known) issue of crippling, a genetic problem, in yellow and art-shade Cattleyas. It was the bane of efforts to breed good nonfading yellow cattleyas because the parents with the best color crippled. Crippling, which caused a thickening of tissue in the petal, became worse with age (the older the plant, the worse the crippling). It would start as a slightly thickened line of tissue running more or less parallel to the long axis of the petal. It is thought that this tissue was an attempt to create another stamen because in the worst cases a knob of tissue would form at the distal end of the thickened tissue. Inside this knob, one could usually find poorly formed but unmistakable pollinia. In the two pictures of Rhyncholaeliocattleya Golden Queen ‘Regina’ (Golden Crown x C. Miguelito), one shows a flower without crippling and the second, taken at a later blooming, show's severe crippling. This disfigurement of the flower was disheartening. Crippling is a genetic problem and continues in future bloomings, it is NOT sporadic (such as cultural related deformities). C. dowiana ‘Amanda Sofia’ AM/AOS It is generally Apr 2016, NS 11.5 x 16.2 cm accepted that the crippling gene came from the use of a particular clone of Cattleya dowiana (hort. -
