ORIGIN/HABITAT: The Bahamas. This species has been collected at numerous
locations throughout the Bahamas. Withner (1996) reported, "Encyclia
altissima plants grow in coppices mixed with shrubbery, cacti, occasional
bromeliads, agaves, and other types of xerophytic flora. The vegetation is
tough, photophilic, and often thorny, covering acres in the Bahamas at
about head height or a little higher."
