The Dark Cattleya has a 30 cm long, racemose inflorescence arising through a large, basal sheath and carrying 3 to 4, fragrant, short-lived, color variable flowers which occur from June through August. The flowers are often 18 cm wide. Narrow, brown or copper-colored petals of the outer and inner whorls, sometimes slightly twisted, are almost flat with slightly wavy edges, especially in the inner whorl. The tripartite lip has large lateral plots, which, when curled up, form a tube around the prone. The resulting large, trumpet-shaped lip has a dark purple ring at the base of the bright central plot, with the edge tinted brighter towards the wavy, curled top. The throat is yellow, with considerable veins that extend across the surface to the lip of the lip. In cultivation, several color varieties meet, including the form of alba with green petals of whorls and white lip.
