Stupid Question - what does slc. stand for

[RosieC]

Ok, I'm trying to work out the full name of the genera abreviated to Slc. and every search I do just shows me pics of Slc. orchids.

I've also looked down the names in the alliance sub-forums and can't spot one which might match.

I've worked out it is part of the Cattleya Alliance simply because that's where people have asked questions about Slc. orchids but I still can't spot what it stands for.

Can anyone answer this silly question.

Ok... is there anywhere that lists all the abreviations for genera... I've come accross some more I just can't find the full names for

SLC = sophrolaeliocattleya. I have the link to a webpage that lists of all the genera and abbreviations. I'm looking for it!

Thanks Camille, that link would be great if you can find it, meanwhile at least I now know Slc.

Am I right in guessing that sophrolaeliocattleya is an intergeneric hybrid?

And here's the list. It's the RHS list from December 2007.

And also the list of what each genus is composed of

That should help you with all your questions I think!

Brilliant links, thanks Camille
