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 meeting each other, by recognising pieces with blotting paper containing their own silk draglines and pieces contain other "P. labiata" females' draglines. If obstacles make it impossible to see whether the other is physically present, she avoids blotting paper containing the other's draglines, but moves with no constraint if she can see that the other female is not around. Draglines seem to act as territory marks, much as many mammals identify conspecifics by scent marking. "P. labiata" females also avoid rival females of higher fighting ability and spend more time around less powerful fighters. A laboratory test collected samples of
