× Sophrolaeliocattleya

Several cultivars × Sophrolaeliocattleya (from Sophronitis, Laelia and Cattleya, its parent genera) is a nothogenus of artificial intergeneric orchid hybrids.

This nothogeneric epithet is derived by putting together the component genera: Sophronitis (combining form sophro-), Laelia (combining form laelio-) and Cattleya; it is capitalized and is not italicized because it is a nothogeneric epithet.

As a result, many greges which had been in × Sophrolaeliocattleya were moved into the nothogenus × Sophrocattleya, abbreviated Sc.

In 2008, the genus Sophronitis was merged into Cattleya,[3] making the nothogenera × Sophrolaeliocattleya and × Sophrocattleya defunct.

As a result, greges which were once classified in × Sophrolaeliocattleya are now found in several genera and nothogenera: × Sophrolaeliocattleya and other Sophronitis hybrids are commonly crossed to produce a desirable orange or red bloom not generally present in Cattleya hybrids not involving Sophronitis, and the compact shape is well suited for artificial light gardens.
