Overview

The Cattleya Alliance is a large assemblage of very popular genera and hundreds of intergeneric combinations (nothogenera) distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical areas of the Americas and the Caribbean. The northernmost limit is represented by Epidendrum magnoliae (syn Epidendrum conopseum) extending along the eastern seaboard of United States as far north as coastal North Carolina. In South America, some Cattleya and Epidendrum species are found as far south as Uruguay and northern Argentina.
