The plant known for many years as Brassavola digbyana has in recent years been transferred to its own genus, as Rhyncholaelia digbyana, although was considered for many years a member of one section of the Genus Brassavola.
Non many species of this group are in common cultivation, Brassavola digbyana with its striking frilled lip is widely cultivated, with Brassavola nodosa less often seen, although well worth culltivating.
