This monograph explores the Brazilian bifoliate cattleyas, orchids celebrated for their showy flowers. It challenges the notion of these plants as a natural group, instead presenting them as a collection of distinct sections with varied origins. The book details the author's extensive research, involving the collection, cultivation, and artificial hybridisation of these cattleyas.
It examines the evolution and adaptation of these species to diverse microclimates across Brazil. The book considers the impact of geological and climatic shifts on the distribution and speciation of these orchids and touches on the nuances of identifying legitimate species versus natural hybrids. This botanical work is supported by illustrations and detailed descriptions, offering a comprehensive resource for botanists and orchid enthusiasts alike.
