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 and Ecuador. In Ecuador, this orchid grows in extremely wet forests where they are constantly bathed in mist and fog. The habitat is near Maldonado on the western slopes of the Andes and very near the Colombian border in Carchi Province. Chondrorhyncha amabilis was first found in the Colombian Department of Cauca. Plants grow at 3300-5900 ft. (1000-1800 m), but we found no specific information about habitat location or habitat type.
