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, in the State of Espírito Santo. Plants have been found only near the headwaters of the Rio Jucu near Domingos Martins. Plants are found at 800–2500 ft. (240–760 m), but they are quite rare above 1800 ft. (550 m). They grow on cliffs above the river on both moss-covered rocks and on mossy trees hanging off the sides of vertical rock faces. They are usually found where springs and small waterfalls are nearby to ensure high humidity even during the dry season. Cattleya schofieldiana Rchb. f. and Cattleya velutina Rchb. f. grow in the same area, sometimes even on the same trees. Cattleya harrisoniana Bateman and Cattleya warneri Moore also grow in this area, but they are usually found on trees near the river rather than on the cliffs above it.
