カトレア図鑑
１．初めに
カトレヤは、洋ランの女王と呼ばれてきました。近縁属を含めた総称です。原種はカトレヤ属だけでは３０数種と言われています。近縁属との交配種が作られてきました。
ここでは、カトレヤのグループの原種、大型の交配種、ミニカトレヤなどに分けて、主な種類、特徴、花の写真などを示します。
2009.8.8追記
従来から数個の亜属に分ける考えがありましたが、最近の遺伝子系統解析でもほぼ支持されています。
２ 原種
（１）カトレヤの遺伝子系統解析
カトレヤ近縁属（Epidendrinae亜連）の遺伝子系統解析が行われています。Cattleyae（Cattleya、Laeliaなど）と、Epidendra（Epidendrumなど）に分けられます。ゲノム全体を対象にしたDNA多型解析法である、RAPD法（randomly amplifired polymorphic DNA）が用いられています。分子系統樹を下に示します。大まかには従来の形質による分類、4亜属と一致します。違いはluteora類はカトレヤ亜属内では遠縁で、kerriは遺伝子によっては特異な種類で、Intermedia節とGuttata節は単一系統でなく、それぞれ2系統が含まれていることです。

C. amethystoglossa (Brazil)
DescriptionPlant bloom from fall through early spring with ten to thirty 10 cm flowers. Flowers are fragrant. The flowers of Cattleya amethystoglossa grow to 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter. Flowers are produced on terminal flower stems that develop at the apex of the pseudobulb. The unbranched inflorescence produces between ten and 30 blooms. Cattleya amethystoglossa is fragrant. The petals and sepals are light lavender to pale rose in color with mauve or magenta spotting. The amount of spotting varies widely between individuals with some individuals demonstrating few spots. The lip is bright magenta in color and partially wraps around the column. The throat varies in color from white to pale yellow or gold.
Cattleya amethystoglossa is a tall plant and has pseudobulbs that grow to
3 feet (1 meter) tall. Each pseudobulb has two (occasionally three) leathery, green leaves at the top. This species is in the Bifoliate division of Cattleyas.
DistributionPlant is found growing in palm tree trunks, rock outcrops, and large tree branches high in the canopy of
evergreen trees trees in Bahia, Minas Gerais and Pernambuco states of Brazil at elevations around 600 meters. This plant is found growing in bright, airy, humid locations. Its native range has been greatly reduced due to habitat destruction, logging, and agriculture.
CulturePlants should be grown in medium fir bark with partial to full sun. The plant is a cool to warm growing orchid species. Water approximately once a week and reduce watering during the winter. Plant can also be mounted.

C. aclandiae (Brazil)
DescriptionPlant blooms from summer to fall with several 10 cm wide flowers. Flowers are fragrant. Flowers are substantial, waxy, and long-lived. Flower color is white or near-white with purple blotches and spots. The lip has a dark purple blotch and the anther cap is yellow.
There are coerulea forms available in the orchid trade. Cattleya aclandiae has been widely used by orchid breeders to produce compact hybrids. When crossed with other bifoliate cattleyas, the spotted pattern is present in the offspring. Hybrids of this species generally produce plants that flower two or more times per year.
Cattleya aclandiae is compact and only grows 3-5 in. (7-12 cm) tall. The upright, short, cylindrical pseudobulbs have two fleshy leaves at the apex. Sometimes, purple blotches are found on the leaves when the plants are exposed to intense sunlight. Each growth produces between one and three 2.5 inches to 4 inches (6 to 10 cm) and the flowers are large for the size of the plant.
DistributionThis species is found growing on
tree limbs and trunks in the Brazilian state of Bahia Cattleya aclandiae has a very small natural range and is found growing in the wind southwest of Salvador on elevated plateaus that border the drainage of the Paraguaca River. Its native habitat is seasonally dry coastal forests between 100 and 400 meters in elevation near permanent bodies of water.
CulturePlants should be grown in medium fir bark with partial to full sun. Cattleya aclandiae is a intermediate to warm growing orchid species. Water approximately once a week. Plant can also be mounted.
