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: Colombia, Venezuela, Trinidad, Tobago, Surinam, Guyana
(British Guiana), and Brazil. In Surinam, plants are found along rivers
near the extreme southwestern border with Guyana. In Venezuela, they are
found along the Rio Orinoco in northern Amazonas Province near Puerto
Ayacucho, near the western border with Colombia. Plants are found along
the Rio Siapa near the extreme southwestern border with Brazil. The
highest elevation habitat reported was at the junction of the Rio Icabarú
and the Rio Uaiparú near Santa Elena in southern Bolivar Province near the
extrem southeastern border with Brazil. Plants are reported from the
inland forests of the states of Amazonas, Rondônia, and Roraima in Brazil,
but we have seen no specific habitat locations for either either the
Brazilian or the Colombian habitats. In Trinidad and Tobago, plants grow
at relatively low elevations near the coast. They are reported from many
locations around the islands.
In addition to the original habitat, Caularthron bicornutum was introduced
to Barbados as a cultivated plant in the nineteenth century. They have
since become naturalized on the island, where the normally epiphytic
plants grow with their roots in rocky crevices of steep roadside
embankment.
