Unidentified (198205H2_5)

Unidentified, May, 1982. At first, we thought this might be Kay's Cattleya skinneri 'Casa Luna' 'Linda Vista'. However, slide 12 from the same roll of film shows a group of three plants matching this one, and the label of one pot shows a partially legible label, ... × Telegrap... In other words, this is apparently one of Kay's crosses with Lc. Telegraph Hill, none of them registered. From the habit of the plant and the color and form, we think it may be Lc. (Adolph Hecker × Telegraph Hill), two pods harvested in July, 1967, from which five flasks were obtained, but we have not been able to read the first part of the label, which is indistinct.
