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 are found in the states of Bahia, Espírito
Santo, Minas Gerais, and possibly eastern Rio de Janeiro. The habitat is
centered around the Rio Doce and its tributaries. Plants are found at
350-650 ft. (100-200 m) on trees which grow on steep slopes and rock faces
along the streams where they are protected from frequent fires. However,
plants are occasionally found on rocks, and they have been reported from
elevations to 2600 ft. (800 m). The species described by Pabst as Cattleya
silvana has since been determined to be only a synonym of Cattleya
warneri. However, it is a darker colored and better formed variety. This
habitat is found in Bahia near the headwaters of the Rio Pardo, further
north than any other population of the species.
