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, Argentina, and Paraguay. Plants were originally
discovered on the banks of the Rio Dourado near Alfenas in the Brazilian
state of Minas Gerais. Other plants, which were described as L.
paranaensis, were later found near Joinville in the state of Paraná. We
have been unable to find any information on the reported habitat in
Argentina. A visitor to Paraguay reported plants growing in large numbers
on trees overhanging river banks. They were exposed to bright sun about 10
ft. (3 m) above the ground, but the elevation of the habitat was not
reported. We have found no reports of taxonomic collections from this
region. Because information about the habitat is incomplete, we have
estimated elevation. Growers should, therefore, use the resulting
temperatures and cultural suggestions with caution.
