Cattleya Mossiae is a small to medium sized, warm to cool growing epiphyte species. The flowers are fragrant, colored from lilac-amethyst to purple-pink. Sepals elongated-lanceolate. The lateral sepals are somewhat shorter and resemble a sickle in shape. The petals are ovate, with their backs bent at the ends, and wavy along the edge. The lip is elliptical in shape, twisted into a tube around the column, its anterior part broad with an intense purple spot on the end, very often has a marble color, wavy along the rim, and inside the lip yellow. These are species plants, please do not expect them to have fleshy psudobulbs and canes like the hybrid Cattleyas.
