Cattleya campaccii

Cattleya campaccii, described as Hoffmannseggella campaccii by Harding and Bohnke and moved to Cattleya in 2016, is a rupicolous 'Laelia' from southeastern Brazil. Very little has been published about it. Like the other rupicolous 'Laelia' of Minas Gerais it wants very bright light, a cool dry winter and a fast-draining mineral medium.
