BRASSAVOLA 
(Warm) 
(N amed in honour of A. M. Brassavol, a Venetian 
botanist.) This genus has one outstanding species, 
viz: Digbyana, from which the hybridist has produced 
the wonderful hybrids, Brassocattleya, Brassolaelio- 
cattleya, etc. The plans are of easy culture if 
given a sunny position in a Cattleya house and lib¬ 
erally supplied with water when growing.

plants and do well in a mixture of fibre and sphag¬ 
num moss.
