The plants come from the southern parts of Bahia and Espirito Santo states of Brazil and flower in the early summer months. Plants can be quite tall with pseudobulbs up to 30cm (12 inches) and a rigid leaf reaching another 30cm long. The two to four, very large flowers, are borne on a strong inflorescence that can also reach another 30cm. Plants are easily cultivated under typical intermediate, Cattleya, conditions although they can be flowered with less light than C. (L.) purpurata. The plants are not nearly as tolerant of cold as C. (L.) purpurata which can be exposed to brief periods near or even below freezing. When exposed to temperatures below their liking, the plants will develop lesions on the leaves and pseudobulbs that look much like spotty sunburn but often on only surface of the leaf and not completely through the leaf. When this happens, care should be taken to prevent secondary bacterial or fungal infections until the lesions dry and stabilize.
