Cattleya neocalimaniorum

Cattleya ×neocalimaniorum is a natural hybrid given its name by Van den Berg in 2010 when the Brazilian laelias were moved to Cattleya, recorded only from the Brazil Southeast region. Natural hybrids named in this group are mostly crosses between rock-dwelling cattleyas of the former Brazilian Laelia group, so it is grown here as a bright, airy rupicolous plant with a dry winter. Its parents and habitat were not documented in the sources we could reach, so every target is generalised.

Where it grows wild

No habitat notes were reachable. Treated as a rupicolous plant of the rock outcrops of southeastern Brazil like its likely parents; this is an inference, not a documented habitat.

No record gives an elevation. Rupicolous cattleyas of the region generally grow at about 900–1500 m.
