Cattleya feldmanniana

A natural hybrid within the rupicolous 'Parviflorae' group of Cattleya, first described as Hoffmannseggella × feldmanniana from south-eastern Brazil. Its parents are small, sun-loving rock-dwellers, so it needs very bright light and a dry winter rest. Its parentage and habitat were not confirmed in the sources reached, so care follows the group.

Where it grows wild

A lithophyte from rock outcrops in highland campo rupestre, where its rupicolous parents grow together; no specific habitat notes were found.

No elevation data. Rupicolous Cattleyas mostly grow at about 900–1,800 m, much cooler than the measured centroid point.
