Cattleya adelinae

Cattleya adelinae, described as Hoffmannseggella adelinae by V.P. Castro and moved to Cattleya in 2019, is one of the small rupicolous 'Laelia' of southeastern Brazil. Almost nothing about its habitat is recorded in accessible sources. Like the other rupicolous 'Laelia' of Minas Gerais it wants very bright light, a cool dry winter and a fast-draining mineral medium.
