Cattleya verboonenii

A Brazilian Cattleya described as Laelia verboonenii by F.E.L. Miranda and moved to Cattleya with the other Brazilian laelias in 2008. Almost nothing is published about its habitat; it is treated here like the rupicolous laelias of Minas Gerais, with very bright light, fast drainage and a dry winter.

Where it grows wild

Habitat details were not reachable. It was transferred in the same paper as the rock-dwelling laelias (formerly Hoffmannseggella), so a sunny rock-outcrop habitat is assumed.
