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: Brazil. This species is common in the cooler mountains
from the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo southward to Rio Grande do
Sul. Plants are also found in the drier savannah country of Minas Gerais.
These plants require more light than Sophronitis species, and they
tolerate more dryness. Plants are found on both lichen-covered,
rough-barked trees and on rocks. Miller and Warren (1994) reported finding
these plants in the Macaé Valley, northeast of Rio de Janeiro, growing on
mid- to high-tree forks at about 3300 ft. (1000 m). Cassio van den Berg
(1996) reported that he has collected these plants near Lavras in Minas
Gerais where they were growing at 3600 ft. (1100 m) on thin branches in
almost full sun along a mountain stream.
