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.
