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, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Plants
are usually found in the mountain watersheds that drain into the Gulf of
Mexico and the Caribbean. Williams (1951) reported that this species was
found in Mexico in the States of San Luis Potosí, Tamaulipas, Vera Cruz,
Puebla, Guerrero, and Colima and indicated that distribution extended into
Guatemala, Belize (British Honduras), and Honduras. Subsequent discoveries
added Nicaragua to the habitat, and Fowlie (1970) reported that the
species is fairly common in the mountains north of the Ocotal-Jalapa
Highway at about 4900 ft. (1500 m). Plants usually are found along rivers
in damp forests on trees and rocks at 2950–4900 ft. (900–1500 m). In
Mexico, plants are found as high as 6000 ft. (1830 m) near Tuxtla
Gutierrez and as low as 500 ft.(150 m) in the State of Vera Cruz.
