This is a Catasetum species endemic to Peru, found in wet, montane forests. The species is rarely seen in cultivation and can produce many flowers on a long, cascading inflorescence. The flowers are fragrant during the day, smelling like vanilla candy or ice cream. The regular color form has darker brown sepals and petals with a chartreuse lip. The most notable features of the flower are the reflexed lateral sepals, long, pointed lip with large basal callus, and the short trigger hairs.
