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: Venezuela. In the Anoda Valley, this plant was found in a cloud forest in a deep cut between Auyántepui and the southern mountains where Angel Falls is located. This region is located in the State of Bolívar, just southeast of the confluence of the Río Caroní and the Río Carrao. Habitat elevation was not reported, but cloudforest habitat and topographical maps of the region indicate probable elevations of at least 4900 ft. (1500 m). The following climate table and cultural suggestions are based on this estimated value and should be used somewhat cautiously until actual habitat elevations are known.
