Cattleya guaicuhyensis

Cattleya guaicuhyensis was described by Rosim in 2018 as Hoffmannseggella guaicuhyensis, placing it among the rock-dwelling laelias of southeastern Brazil. Beyond the name almost nothing is published, so its care here follows the rupicolous group: full sun on rock, cool nights and a dry winter.

Where it grows wild

Its placement in Hoffmannseggella marks it as a rupicolous species of highland rock outcrops; the epithet appears to refer to Guaicuí in Minas Gerais, but we found no habitat description.

No elevation found; the group mostly grows at about 900–1500 m.
