Linneara (named apparently for Linnaeus). Orchidaceae. The Rules of Horticultural Nomenclature adopted by the subsection of Nomenclature at the International Horticultural Congress at Brussels, 1910, provide that "multigeneric hybrids receive a conventional generic name, preferably that of a distinguished man, to which is added the termination ara. A distinct generic name will be formed for each different combination of genera. Thus all combinations of the genera Brassavola, Cattleya, Laelia and Epidendrum, no matter in what order they may be intercrossed, receive the same generic name which would be, for example, Linneara.” The Royal Horticultural Society (London) had proposed to the Congress that "Future multigeneric hybrids (combining three or more genera) should be given a conventional name consisting of the name of some person eminent as a student or as a grower of orchids, followed by the termination 'ara'." 

"A separate generic name should be coined for each distinct combination of genera. Thus, Brassocattleya X Epilaelia, and Brassodendrum x Brassocattleya, and Brassolalia x Epicattleya, and Brassolaelia x Epidendrum, and all other possible combinations of those four genera would be designated by one name, e.g., Adamara, while a second generic name, e. g., Linneara, would need to be coined for Dialaelia x Brassocattleya, and this would stand for all combinations of the four genera Diacrium, Laelia, Brassavola, and Cattleya."

The Congress adopted Linneara for the hybrids of the genera Brassavola, Cattleya, Laelia, Epidendrum. The name Adamara was not adopted. Neither name has become current; see also Lowiara.
