The lowland subspecies that grows as an epiphyte in Ecuador by the sea level in mangrove forests to 200 mts altitude, in semidecidous tropical forests, hot to warm. Is a giant plant compared to other Cattleyas and differs by its mountain sister that is 'standard' Cattleya sized, the fragrance that is floral ( lily of the valley, Iris), and not the intense sun that requires the mountain one.
Ovidiu Raducu

It has different vegetative forms (short, cool-growing highland varieties vs. tall, warm-growing lowland varieties) in addition to flower colour forms. [Emrys Chew, Ph.D.]
