× Hawkinsara, abbreviated Hknsa. in the horticultural trade, was the name used for hybrids involving Broughtonia, Cattleya, Laelia and Sophronitis.[1] As of May 2026[update], Sophronitis was considered a synonym of Cattleya,[2] so that plants placed in × Hawkinsara were correctly placed in × Laeliocatonia.
