Putumayo between La Cocha and Sibundoy. In Ecuador, they grow in the
Provinces of Bolívar, Morona-Santiago, Napo and Pastaza While these
locations are mostly on the eastern slopes, plants are found on the westrn
slopes in Bolívar Province. The plants grow in wet forests or cloudforests
at 4900-7550 ft. (1500-2300 m) on the eastern slopes, while collections on
