Wilsonara (from a personal name). Orchidaceae. A hybrid orchid described and figured in G.C.III.59, pp. 312, 315 (June 10, 1916). "The parents include Cochlioda, Oncidium, and Odontoglossum; Oncidioda Charlesworthii (Oncidium incurvum x Cochlioda Noezliana), and Odontoglossum illustrissimum (Lambeauianum x ardentissimum), and through the parentage of the latter O. crispum, O. Pescatorei, and O. Harryanum enter into its composition. The hybrid approaches closely to Oncidioda Charlesworthii, and in a marked degree resembles Odontioda Hermione (C. vulcanica x Oda. Heatonensis), many of the factors in the combination being difficult to trace. The erect oncidium like spike bore ten pretty flowers, with purplish claret-red sepals and petals, the three-lobed lip being of whitish lilac color, with a blotch of claret-red in front of the crest."—Exhibited by Charlesworth & Co. For names of similar construction, see Adamara, Linneara, Lowiara, Vuylstekeara.
