Phalaenopsis Harriettiae

Phalaenopsis Harriettiae was the first man-made Phalaenopsis hybrid. It was registered in 1887 by John Veitch, who created it at the Veitch Nurseries. P. Harriettiae is a hybrid of the naturally occurring Phalaenopsis amabilis and Phalaenopsis violacea. It may be treated as a grex, and has also been given a hybrid name, Phalaenopsis × harriettae <small>Rolfe</small>.
