Laelia owenii








Laelia oweniae, award 20105413, has not been confirmed to be Laelia xoweniae by SITF(May 2010, with assistance of Marcos Campacci.

Discussion: Laelia xoweniae is a natural hybrid of debatable parentage. Withner says it is L. perrinii and another unidentified Laelia. Campacci says its L. xanthina x L. dayana. Hybrids can be variable and perhaps only the spectacular clones of the hybrid have been recorded, but this(20105413) awarded specimen does not seem consistent with what has been recorded.
