ORIGIN/HABITAT: Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Panama. This epiphytic species is distributed over a large area, but the plants occur at widely scattered locations. In Costa Rica, they grow in the Santa Maria National Park and in forests at Rincón de La Vieja at 1950-2600 ft. (600-800 m). In Panama, the plants are found in the Province of Coclé, but habitat details and elevation were not reported. In Colombia, they are found near Dabeiba in the Department of Antioquia at 5600-6550 ft. (1700-2000 m), in the Department of Valle del Cauca near Río Dagua at 4900 ft. (1500 m), and in the Department of Nariño on the road to Tumaco with no habitat details or elevation given. In Ecuador, plants grow in low-level cloudforests on the western slopes of the Andes in the Province of Cotopoxi at 3950 ft. (1200 m) and in the Province of Manabí at 1950 ft. (600 m). The species has not been recorded in Peru, but collections have been made far to the southeast in central Bolivia where plants were growing in the Department of Cochabamba in forests near Villa Tunari at 1300 ft. (400 m).
