What does ‘x self’ mean

Hi. I have an orchid labelled ‘Cattleya purpurata x self’. Can anyone tell me what the ‘x self’ means.

Is this a species? A select form of a species ? Or a hybrid ?

The tag came with it illustrates a white flower. Not sure how meaningful that is

Also, I’ve never understood whether select forms of a species are considered ‘species orchids’ by orchid enthusiasts. Can anyone clarify?

Cheers
Arron
