Sophrolaeliocattleya (from Sophronitis, Laelia and Cattleya, its parent genera) is a nothogenus of artificial intergeneric orchid hybrids. It is abbreviated as Slc. in the horticultural trade. As of 2008, × Sophrolaeliocattleya is defunct, with the genus Sophronitis having been merged into Cattleya.
Wikipedia

Many growers and hybridizers still feel compelled to use the old name in breeding, and because many orchids were already registered under the old name, Sophrolaeliocattleya instead of Laeliocattleya.
