Cattleya cattleyioides

A natural hybrid from southeastern Brazil, first described as Laelia × cattleyioides by A. Richard. Its placements in ×Microcattleya and ×Sophrocattleya suggest a small former Laelia or Sophronitis crossed with a true Cattleya, but the parents are not confirmed in the sources checked. Grow it like an Atlantic Forest Cattleya.
