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. -

Orchids for Everyone Mar 2013 Cattleyas.Pdf
Tuckers Orchid Nursery Presents… Orchids for Everyone Editor: Cathy Hine 1370 East Coast Road. Redvale, Auckland, NZ. Ph (09) 473 8629 Website: www.tuckersorchidnursery.co.nz Issue 26: March 2013 FROM ROSS THE BOSS Welcome back – This has been one of the hottest and driest summers I can remember for a few years. Your orchids will be smiling if you have been able to keep watering and feeding regularly. I was talking to a couple of commercial cymbidium growers, and they have noticed an increase in the number of flower spikes this year, because of last year’s poor light levels – too much cloud and raincover in summer, so they are predicting a tri-fecta pay out this year. Some are spiking from the bulbs that didn’t produce last summer. They have produced this year’s normal spiking, and an increase because of the high light levels and good temperatures – not too hot. If you don’t get a good flowering this year is not the weather conditions it’s your (the growers) fault. Not enough water and food. So get to it. It’s still not too late to produce spikes. Other genera have been similarly affected. Phalaenopsis have grown huge leaves because of the heat. Paphs have lots of new growths showing. Odontoglossums new larger bulbs and plenty of spikes showing, and cattleyas have lots of new growths and good flowering of the mature growths. I hope it continues along these lines throughout the year – and it truly will be a good Orchid Year. This month we feature Cattleyas as we have many new releases onto the web and lots of new cattleyas for the Orchid Club members. -
Nomenclature
NOMENCLATURE The written language of Horticulture The Written Language of Horticulture To write the names of orchids correctly we must understand the differences between species and hybrids, know the abbreviations for the various species and hybrids and follow a few simple rules The Written Language of Horticulture 1. A species orchid occurs naturally in nature. Plants of the same species sometime vary in shape and colour. These are called varieties and given a special varietal name. 2. A hybrid is a cross between species or hybrids or a species and a hybrid. (A Primary hybrid is a cross between two species.) (A Natural hybrid is a cross that occurs naturally in nature.) The Written Language of Horticulture As an example we will look at the cattleya family species abbreviation Brassavola B. Cattleya C. Laelia L. Sophronitis Soph. Broughtonia Bro. The Written Language of Horticulture When a Cattleya is crossed with a Brassavola it becomes a Brassocattleya, abbreviated Bc. When a Cattleya and Laelia are crossed it becomes a Laeliocattleya, abbreviated Lc. When a Brassocattleya is crossed with a Laelia it becomes a Brassolaeliocattleya, abbreviated Blc. When a Brassolaeliocattleya is crossed with a Sophronitis it becomes a Potinara, abbreviated Pot. When a Broughtonia is crossed with a Cattleya it becomes a Cattletonia, abbreviated Ctna. The Written Language of Horticulture Why make these crosses 1. The Brassavola imparts large frilly labellums to the cross. 2. The Sophronitis imparts yellow, red, orange to the flowers. 3. The Broughtonia imparts dwarf structure, miniature clusters, good shape and flowers several times per year LET US NOW LOOK AT HOW TO WRITE THE NAMES OF ORCHIDS The following are a few rules that will assist in writing orchid names. -

I began growing orchids as an offshoot from working at Longwood Gardens in Philadephia just after college. I have an diverse collection of nearly 3000 Paphs, including awarded and select clones of historic importance. I also do a little hybridizing of my own, and growing up my own babies is a blast. I am the youngest accredited judge with the American Orchid Society, and have served in various capacities with different societies in California and on the East Coast. I love meeting other orchid people, and doing so often finds me traveling to shows, vendors, and peoples’ greenhouses to see the latest and greatest in new hybrids and to get the best orchid gossip. In addition to Longwood, I’ve worked at the Smithsonian Institution tending to their orchids, and for years for the United States National Arboretum, collecting rare plants and documenting cultivated species and hybrids for their herbarium. -
