New Plant - Guaricyclia (Catcyclia) Plicaboa

I went for a jolly to Ashwood Nurseries today. I wanted to look at Clematis for my back garden but, shock horror, I came back with an orchid. They were having an 'Orchid Extravaganza' meaning, mostly, a sea of Phalaenopsis, but at the back of the display I found this beauty.

It was labelled as 'Cattleya', but it clearly isn't Cattleya. In fact, according to modern nomenclature, it doesn't technically have any Cattleya in it at all, though one of its parents is what was until quite recently known as Cattleya bowringiana. These days it is known as Guarianthe bowringiana (who can even pronounce that?). That lovely purple colour comes from the Guarianthe parent. The overall habit of the plant comes from the other parent, Encyclia plicata. The leaves are solid and sword shaped and quite unlike any Cattleya-esque plant I have ever grown.

So, the correct name for this plant is, I believe, Guaricyclia plicaboa, having first gone by the name Epicattleya, and then Catcyclia and who knows what else before that. It should be a warm grower so will do well in my growroom. It looks like it enjoys conditions on the dry side so I'll have to be careful on the watering when it isn't growing.. As you can see, the lead growth is now at the edge of the pot, so I'll have to repot this fairly soon. I've had a little scrabble about in the growing medium and the roots appear healthy (which is more than can be said for plants I have had from a specialist orchid nursery on the continent recently - more to come at a later date), so it should be a fairly easy job to pot it on.
