Bolleanthes are a hybrid between cochleanthes and bollea

There are also Pescatoranthes - hybrid between Pescatoria and Cochleanthes
http://www.fascinationoforchids.com/...ntral/502a.jpg - Pescatoranthes Star Sapphire
In total, there are 25 intergeneric hybrid names.

There is another cross called Cochleanthes Moilere - cochleanthes amazonica X cochleanthes discolor

There aren't many Cochleanthes species to begin with (especially to purchase, from my experience). I find them fascinatingly (I think I just made that word up ) different.

I have yet to purchase a little one called Cochleanthes discolor but I hope so soon
