This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Costa Rica and Panama. Leochilus tricuspidatus usually
grows on the Pacific watersheds of the Costa Rican Central Valley, but the
habitat extends to the Pacific slopes of western Panama. It normally grows
in a cloudforest at 4600-6550 ft. (1400-2000 m), often on trees in
disturbed but not cut-over primary forest near San José, Costa Rica. This
species grows on the outer branches and twigs of the canopy some 49-82 ft.
(15-25 m) above the ground, but readily grows on introduced plants in
cultivation, especially Psidium guajava and citrus.
