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. The habitat includes portions of the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Minas Gerais. The habitat extends from near São Paulo northward to the vicinity of Passos and westward to the region around Bauru. Plants grow at 2000-3000 ft. (610-910 m) along the Rio Grande, Rio Tiete, Rio Pardo, and Rio Feo, and in the swampy regions near the headwaters of these streams. Plants are also found in swampy areas of the headwaters of the Rio Paraiba in southeastern São Paulo. The habitats of Cattleya loddigesii and Cattleya harrisoniana Bateman come together in this region, and intergrades between these 2 species are often found.
