L.SLIOCATTLEYA (compounded from La'lia and 

 Catlkyn). Orchidacew. A name propo.sed by H. A. Rolf e 

 to designate the bigeneric hybrids of La'lia and of Catt- 

 leya, which readily hybridize. The sjiecics of the two 

 genera have eight ;md four pollen m;ts.ses respectively, 

 while the hybrids are irregul:ir in this respect. Many of 

 the plant.s are natund hybrids, and many others have 

 been produced by artificial crossing. For a list of la>lio- 

 cattleyas, see Rolfe in G.C. III. 0:7S, Ihh. In the fol- 

 lowing account L. = La'lia; Lc. = La'liocattleya; C.= 

 Cat t leva. 



The cultivation of la>liocattleyas is the same jus for 

 la?lia and cattleya. It is therefore important to know 

 the parentage in each case, from which one in.ay know 

 whether warm or coolhou.se treatment is needed. Many 

 Iseliocattleyaa are of such a vigorous constitution that 

 they are nearly always in growth.
