Description

Cattleya dolosa var. alba

Name: Cattleya x dolosa, (Rchb.f.) Rchb.f 1876
Synonyms: Cattleya x eximia, Barb. Rodr. 1877
Cattleya x obrieniana, Rolfe 1889
Cattleya x schroederiana, Rchb.f. 1883
Cattleya walkeriana var. dolosa, (Rchb.f.) A.H.Kent 1887
Cattleya walkeriana var. schroederiana, (Rchb.f.) H.J.Veitch 1887
Epidendrum x dolosum, Rchb.f 1862
Etymology: dolosus = deceptive, misleading
Origin: Brazil
Habitat: Lithophytic, growing on rocky outcrops in exposed locations in southern central Brazil near Sao Paulo.
Notes: Cattleya dolosa is generally treated as a natural hybrid of Cattleya walkeriana and Cattleya loddigesii. Bred progeny have not been able to confirm this assumption. The flowers, which can measure over 10cm, develop in late spring after a brief winter rest; the waxy flowers can bloom for >4 weeks and emit a light fragrance.
