"Trevoria" is a genus of orchids. It was described by FC Lehmann in 1897. It was described by FC Lehmann 1897 ser 3 vol21:345-346 in "Gardeners Chronicle" with a black and white picture of "Trevoria chloris".(A photo of this single plant is also in the new vol 6 of the book "Native Colombian Orchids: Volume 6: Supplement: Leucohyle-Zootrophion" (1998). It grows under intermediate temperature and is found from Nicaragua and Costa Rica to Bolivia . The name is in honor of Sir Trevor Lawrence, a former president of The Royal Horticultural Society.

Culture

The lava stone for culture is watered daily with 200 yS of a urea free mineralNPK fertilizer, leaves should dry fast after they get wet to prevent leaf spot fungi, every 10 days plants get organic fertilizer over the leaves in a solution of up to 600 yS, sometimes fish emulsion, sometimes sea weed fertilizer (Bioalgen S90) or an amino acid fertilizer. Other genera that grow well on such stones is closely related "Schlimia" and also terrestrial "Polycycnis" like "P. morganii".

"T. chloris" flowers are extremely fragrant and don't need to wait for pollinators, they only open for a day.

Concerning sandwich mounts it should be mentioned that "Coryanthes" were found to grow even better on sandwich mounts without bark, only Styrofoam (make sureby calling the producer its free of Freon or similar toxic substances added toprevent fire in some kinds of styrofoam), some large pieces of broken clay pots and a bit of fiber peat fixed together with a cord made of synthetic material. -Juergen Boehm Orchids
