Cattleya labiata var. mosca
According to Lou Menezes proposition this would correctly be identified as var. purpureo-striata and 'Mosca' (fly) would be a clonal name. Other authors classify it as var. venosa-estriada. None of these names are really used here in Brazil and the flowers with this very particular purple design in the lip resembling a fly are widely known as var. mosca.

The first one have te appearance of a solid dot sometimes margined with very small "veins", and the second have the appearance of a line, also sometimes margined with small veins... But well boundaries between varieties aren't always true, I have a Cattleya percivaliana that between one year or the other can be concolor, mosca or true purpureo-lineata.
beautiful flower Mauro
Congrats |
Your are right Jan Pahl, often those boundaries between varieties may not be so clear. |
