Cattleya victoriacarolinae

Cattleya ×victoriacarolinae is a natural hybrid from southeastern Brazil, first described by Campacci and Espejo and moved to Cattleya by J.M.H. Shaw in 2016. There are no wild GBIF records, so its habitat and parents cannot be checked here; grow it like other southeastern Brazilian cattleyas: bright light, warm days, cooler nights and a drier winter.
