× Potinara, abbreviated Pot in the horticultural trade,[1] is the nothogenus comprising those intergeneric hybrids of orchids which have Brassavola, Cattleya, Laelia and Sophronitis as parent genera.

It can easily be imagined that a combination of all the desirable qualities of the four genera would be an outstandingly handsome thing.

[citation needed] The search for a way to breed large red hybrids has been given a new boost with the discovery of Cattleya milleri.

[2][3] In 2008, the genus Sophronitis was merged into Cattleya,[4] making such nothogenera as × Potinara, × Sophrolaeliocattleya and × Sophrocattleya no longer current, but only of historical interest.

Two species of Brassavola, B. digbyana and B. glauca had also been moved into the new genus Rhyncholaelia earlier in the decade.
