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 in all cases. A test in 1997 showed that "P. labiata" from the Philippines and from Sri Lanka have similar preferences for different types of prey, and that the order of preference is: web spiders; jumping spiders; and insects. These preferences apply to both live prey and motionless lures, and to "P. labiata" specimens without prey for 7 days ("well-fed") and without prey for 14 days ("starved"). "P. labiata" specimens without prey for 21 days ("extra-starved") showed no preference for different types of prey. The test included as prey several species of web spiders and jumping spiders, and the selection
