Cattleya verelii

A natural hybrid from southeastern Brazil between a Cattleya and one of the Brazilian laelias, first named by Rolfe as ×Laeliocattleya verelii and moved to Cattleya in 2010. Its parentage was not confirmed here and there are no wild records, so care follows typical Brazilian intermediate cattleyas.
