The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Brazil. Plants grow in a very small area about 60 mi. (100
km) east of the city of Rio de Janeiro. They occur on the south or
seaward-facing slopes of the Serra Taquarucu at 1800-3200 ft. (550-980 m).
This mountain range, which is on the southern side of the Organ Mountains,
is the first east-west barrier of significant height over which
moisture-laden ocean air must pass. The habitat is one of the wettest
places in Brazil. Some reports indicate that Cattleya dormaniana grows
near the ground on dead, rotting wood of moss-covered fallen trees and
stumps. Dr. Fowlie, however, reported that plants grow on a lichen and
fungus covered species of Aspidosperma, a living tree, with bark that is
so soft and rotten that it crumbles easily in the hand.
