Description

This book is the second in a landmark series of six books covering the genera of the complex Cattleya alliance. The Laelias are far less known then the cattleyas considered in the first volume, and bringing order to the genus involved considerable research in old or obscure sources. Many Laelias have been described only in the last decade, and some are no just finding their way into cultivation in their native Brazil.

This book presents 59 species, their history, characteristics and natural varieties and hybrids.
