  Plant of the Week 11/03/2003: Broughtonia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
This beautiful little orchid was once classified as Broughtonia jamaicensis until it was realized it was a naturally occurring hybrid between Broughtonia sanguinea (Swartz) R. Brown and Broughtonia negrilensis Fowlie.
Broughtonia negrilensis was not discovered or named until 1961.
The specimens arrived in late 1793 and the Broughtonia was reported to have bloomed that year.
