Cattleya warscewiczii 40; the haploid chromosome number as "n" = 20. "C. warscewiczii" hybridizes naturally with "C. aurea / dowiana", producing "C. x hardyana". "C. warscewiczii" has also been used extensively in Cattleya hybridization, to produce large-flowered hybrid Cattleyas. 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
Portia labiata stands his ground and she does not ran away or repeat the propulsive display, he approaches and, if she is mature, they copulate. If the female is sub-adult (one moult from maturity), a male may cohabit in the female's capture web. "Portia"s usually mate on a web or on a dragline made by the female. "P. labiata" typically copulates for about 100 seconds, while other genera can take several minutes or even several hours. Females of "P. labiata" and "P. schultzi" try to kill and eat their mates during or after copulation, by twisting and lunging. The males wait until
