The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: The West Indies, Colombia, and Venezuela. In Puerto Rico,
this orchid is widespread in the mountain regions where it grows as an
epiphyte or lithophyte is moist and wet forests at 800-4100 ft. (250-1250
m). Plants have been found in the Greater Antilles and in the Lesser
Antilles on Saba, St. Kitts, Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique, St.
Vincent, and Grenada, but specific locations and elevations were not
given. Although reported as occurring in Colombia and Venezuela, we have
been unable to find and specific collection or habitat information in
contemporary literature indicating its occurrence in those regions.
