Cattleya wtrianaei

"Cattleya wtrianaei" is a garbled spelling carried in GBIF; the Linden & Rchb.f. 1860 authorship matches Cattleya trianae, Colombia's national flower. Treat it as C. trianae: a winter-flowering unifoliate epiphyte from the Colombian Andes that likes bright light, intermediate temperatures and a drier rest after growth.
