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, Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia. Plants grow in the
Amazon Basin from west of Manaus, Brazil to the lower eastern slopes of
the Andes west of Iquitos, Peru. Cattleya luteola has spread both north
and south through the eastern foothills of the Andes. Plants are found in
scattered locations in Bolivia and Ecuador. They also have spread onto the
Brazilian Plateau southwest of Manaus. Plants usually grow in relatively
shaded locations on rough-barked trees along rivers in wet, lowland,
tropical forests at 650–2300 ft. (200–700 m).
