Cattleya havenithii

A little-known rupicolous Cattleya, described as Hoffmannseggella havenithii in 2006 and moved to Cattleya in 2018, from the rocky highlands of south-eastern Brazil. Like its relatives in the 'Parviflorae' group it is a small, sun-loving lithophyte with thick leaves and a pronounced dry winter. Almost nothing is published on its habitat, so these conditions are inferred from the group.

Where it grows wild

Assumed to grow on rock outcrops in open highland campo rupestre, like other former Hoffmannseggella species; no habitat details were found for this species.

No elevation data. Its relatives in the group mostly grow at about 900–1,800 m, where nights are much cooler than the measured centroid point suggests.
