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, Ecuador, and Peru. In Colombia, plants are found in the Eastern Cordillera near Bogotá in the Department of Cundinamarca as well as at locations in the Departments of Boyacá and Norte de Santander. They are also found in the Province of Carchi in northern Ecuador and in the Department of Cajamarca in central Peru. These plants grow as terrestrials on rocky and grassy slopes where they may be fully exposed or partially shaded. They have been reported at 6550-10,500 ft. (2000-3200 m), but plants are usually more abundant at 8200-8850 ft. (2500-2700 m). The large, long-stemmed, pale-flowered form is found in the Eastern Cordillera in Colombia. The smaller, short-stemmed, more colorful variations occur from Colombia to Peru.
