Many cultivars

The many greges in this nothogenus are among the most spectacular of cultivated orchids. Many are particularly valued for their large showy labellum. In publications prior to 2009, many of these were classified in various nothogenera, including × Brassocattleya, × Brassolaeliocattleya, × Brassolaelia, × Lowara, × Rhynchosophrocattleya, and × Potinara.
