Cattleya walkeriana Cattleya walkeriana Cattleya walkeriana (Walker's cattleya) is a species of orchid. It differs from most species of "Cattleya" by having inflorescences which arise from the rhizome instead of from the apex of the pseudobulb. In its native habitat (Brazilian Central Plateau) it grows as either an epiphyte or a lithophyte, sometimes in full sun. Pseudobulbs are relatively short, bulbous or fusiform, with one or two ovate leaves at the apex. Inflorescence is one- or few-flowered, about 8" (20 cm) tall. Flowers are 4-5" (9-12 cm) across. Genetically "C. walkeriana" is close to bifoliate Cattleyas. The diploid chromosome number of "C.
Portia labiata (Thorell, 1890), "Erasinus dentipalpis" (Thorell, 1892), "Erasinus labiatus" (Simon, 1903) and "Portia labiata" (Wanless, 1978), and the last name has been used since then. "Portia" is in the subfamily Spartaeinae, which is thought to be primitive. Molecular phylogeny, a technique that compares the DNA of organisms to reconstruct the tree of life, indicates that "Portia" is a member of the clade Spartaeinae, that Spartaeinae is basal (quite similar to the ancestors of all jumping spiders), that "Portia"′s closest relative is the genus "Spartaeus", and that the next closest are "Phaeacius" and "Holcolaetis".
