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: Peru, Colombia, and possibly Brazil. In Peru, Cattleya rex
grows on the eastern slopes of the Andes in the Department of San Martin
near Moyobamba and Rioja. Plants are most often found at 2300-3950 ft.
(700-1200 m) in wet mountain forests, where they grow on the top branches
of very tall trees. This species does not readily re-establish on younger
trees after the large ones are cut. Plants are reportedly found Colombia
and Brazil, but we found no specific information abut the habitat in these
regions. Once abundant, this species is now very scarce and considered
endangered, primarily because of habitat destruction.
