Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F)
Comments: Parent plant: This plant was received as "Coryanthes species from Bolivia" and is probably what is sometimes called the Peruvian form of macrantha. The country of origin information originally obtained may not be reliable. Very pleasant fragrance. Flowers are 4 inches (10 cm) from cap top to bucket bottom.

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: Venezuela, Trinidad, British Guiana, Colombia and Peru. In
Peru, the plants have been found along the Rio Nanay near Iquitos in the
Amazon Basin. In Venezuela, plants were found at about 1500 ft. (560 m)
between the Icabaru and Uaiparu Rivers in the southeastern part of Bolivar
Province. Plants were growing on trees in a fairly dense but not very tall
forest. Some writers feel that the plants found in Peru may represent a
separate species, but they have not been split out at this time. Specific
habitat information was not given, but Coryanthes species are normally
found growing in very acid conditions on the nests of ants.
