×Laeliocatonia
× Laeliocatonia is a nothogenus (a hybrid genus) of intergeneric orchids bred from Broughtonia, Cattleya and Laelia, so it covers many commonly grown hybrid members rather than one species. Care follows the warm, bright, well-drained conditions typical of cattleya-type orchids.
× Laeliocatonia is a nothogenus of intergeneric orchid hybrids descended from the parent genera Broughtonia, Cattleya and Laelia. It is abbreviated Lctna. in the horticultural trade.
× Hawkinsara, abbreviated Hknsa. in the horticultural trade, was the name used for hybrids involving Broughtonia, Cattleya, Laelia and Sophronitis. As of May 2026, Sophronitis was considered a synonym of Cattleya, so that plants placed in × Hawkinsara were correctly placed in × Laeliocatonia.
