Is Caulavola an intergeneric and if so which genuses are the parents? - Orchid Board

Unfortunately the page on the RHS website that I used to get this info from has been removed since they restructured the site. I also can't find the answer by googling.

So... is Caulavola an intergeneric and if so which genuses are the parents?

If it's not an intergeneric, then which genuses is it related to?

I'm trying to get my head arround the relationship of various genuses and I've not been able to place this one.

Thanks to OB I've found the answer to this one.

Royal posted a Caulavola Colmanii a while back and thoughtfully posted that it is a cross between Brasavola and Caularthron.

Hi RosieC

Here's the link that to the RHS website that you might want to bookmark:

FYI, Caularthron used to be Diacrum. Many still use the old name.

This is a home made name which has not been registered which is why you cannot find it on the RHS list.

Richard, What is the home made name you are refering too?

Sorry Rishard, but this is not a 'home made' name. Caulavola is the correct name for hybrids between the genera Brassavola and Caularthron, as noted in earlier posts. Caularthron used to be Diacrium, and Caulavola replaced Brassodiacrium when Caularthron was accepted for registration.

...and the grex Colmanii (B. nodosa x Caul. bicornutum) was registered in the early 1900's by Sir Jerimiah Colman.

I stand corrected. Thanks for clarifying......that is the good thing about orchids in general and fora like this in particular, one is learning continually.
