Guarianthe, abbreviated Gur. in the horticultural trade,[1] is a small genus of epiphytic orchids, growing in wet forests in Mexico, Central America, Colombia, Venezuela and Trinidad.[2] It was separated from the bifoliate Cattleyas in 2003,[3] based on phylogenetic studies of nuclear DNA sequence data.[4]
