Laelia marcaliana

Call it a Laelia, Dungsia, Hoffmannseggella or Cattleya. It's similar to a harpophylla, but the lip is different among other details.

It is the first flower for this plant.

The lip different, indeed.
Is the habitat the same as harpophylla?

It's supposedly from southern Bahia, while harpophylla is from Minas Gerais/Espirito Santo. Not that far away actually.

From what I can read the biggest difference is the altitude, marcaliana is growing at lower altitudes and likes it warmer.

That's what I tought. Altough Bahia and MG are not that far, the climate, mainly influenced by the orography, is different.
