Cattleya warscewiczii Cattleya warscewiczii Cattleya warscewiczii (The "Warscewicz's Cattley's orchid"), a labiate "Cattleya", is a species of orchid. It was first collected by Józef Warszewicz in Colombia in 1848-49 and formally described by Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach in 1855. "C. warscewiczii" exhibits a typical Cattleya sympodial habit. Pseudobulbs are 8-16" (20-40 cm) long, unifoliate, cylindrical or cigar-shaped, grooved. Flowers are 7-11" (17.5-27.5 cm) across, largest in the genus, showy, fragrant. In culture the flowering is in summer on that year`s spring growth. Strong light and good air movement are required. The diploid chromosome number of "C. warscewiczii" has been determined as 2"n" =
Portia labiata of the prey species showed no evidence of affecting the results. Insects were represented by the house fly "Musca domestica". Unlike the Queensland variant of "P. frimbriata", "P. labiata" has no special tactics when hunting other jumping spiders. "P. labiata" does not prey on ants, but is preyed on by the ants "Oecophylla smaragdina" and "Odontomachus" sp. (species uncertain). "P. labiata" will sometimes approach a translucent nest containing another spider, and will usually wait facing the prey for up to several hours. Occasionally "P. labiata" leaps at the prey in the nest, but this is ineffective. Populations from Los Baños
