Cattleya citrinointermedia

A hybrid described by Rolfe in 1888. Its name points to Cattleya citrina (now Prosthechea citrina) crossed with C. intermedia, though the sources checked do not confirm this. It is known only from its old description and cultivation, so these growing notes are generalised.

Where it grows wild

No wild habitat is recorded. If the name reflects its parentage, one parent is a pendent cool-growing epiphyte of Mexican oak forest and the other a warm coastal Brazilian Cattleya, which makes any single climate a compromise.

No elevation data.
