× Laeliocattleya
Laeliocattleya is a nothogenus of intergeneric orchid hybrids descended from the parental genera Laelia and Cattleya. It is abbreviated Lc. in the horticultural trade.
Due to the recent decision by the Royal Horticultural Society (the international orchid registration authority) to recognize the reduction of the Brazilian Laelia species and the entire genus Sophronitis to synonymy under Cattleya, many hybrids which had previously been described as Laeliocattleya hybrids are now classified as Cattleya hybrids (e.g. C. George Cutler). The nothogenus name × Sophrolaelia (for hybrids between Sophronitis and Laelia) is now a synonym of × Laeliocattleya.
