Cattleya ericoi

Cattleya × ericoi was described by V.P. Castro as ×Hadrocattleya ericoi, a natural intergeneric hybrid between a Hadrolaelia (the miniature C. pumila / C. praestans group) and a Cattleya, and is now placed in Cattleya. Kew lists it for southeastern Brazil; no habitat details were reachable, so care follows its parents' groups.
