What does "memoria" indicate?

[Timotheus]

I hope this is the right forum, I wasn't sure--I sometimes see this word in the names of hybrids and am not sure what it means--a combination of various species perhaps?--I appreciate any enlightenment--

"Memoria" is followed by someone's name - the plant has been named in memoriam for that person.

[sbrofio]

memoria in ancient latin is "memory/remembrance"

[tucker85]

The word "Memoria" is used when an orchid is named in honor of someone who is deceased.

Ah, that makes sense--Thanks!
