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: Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua.
In Mexico, Lycaste deppei is found in the States of Chiapas and Veracruz.
Except El Salvador, plants of this species are found on the slopes facing
the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. They normally grow as epiphytes in
wet mountain forests at 3600-5600 ft. (1100-1700 m), but plants may
sometimes be found growing on rocks. H. F. Oakeley (1991) reported that
in the Mexican habitat, Lycaste deppei was found in damp forests usually
growing about 10 ft. (3 m) up in 30 ft. (9 m) trees with their roots in
moss and in dappled sun at midday. Oakeley indicated that these plants
were not found in the extreme damp cloud forests, and that their habitat
receives no rain through the winter. Consequently, the only moisture
received comes from the morning dews and mist.
