This plant, I bought from a private person on Ebay. It came with the epithet 'roxo-violetta', but I wonder whether it is? Due to the slight striation on the petals, might it more aptly be named 'striata'? Hope for your expert comments on this matter!
(Terry's elucidating comment below made it clear, that we are, actually, in the realm of 'venosa'... and Leslie's, that we are not!

Actually, the plant is my son's, as I had to recompense him for killing off the Cattleya hybrid NOID, that he won in a plant raffle many summers ago:![18863-44428e0e21cee9441c5d54a2baab6f5a.jpeg.jpg 18863-44428e0e21cee9441c5d54a2baab6f5a.jpeg.jpg](https://cdn.imagearchive.com/slippertalk/data/attachments/38/38626-44428e0e21cee9441c5d54a2baab6f5a.jpg)
