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 swamps very near the coast
from near Rio de Janeiro southward to near Paranagua. The habitat
originally extended southward through the states of Rio de Janeiro, São
Paulo, Parana, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sol to almost the Uruguay
border. However, modern Brazilian writers report that the southern part of
the habitat has been destroyed and plants are no longer found there.
Cattleya tigrina usually grows in the tops of trees in dense swampy
forests below 350 ft. (100 m). Cattleya guttata Lindley is found in the
same area but spreads further inland and grows to somewhat higher
elevations.
