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: Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, and Nicaragua. In
Mexico, this orchid is found in the states of Nayarit, Jalisco, Veracruz,
and Oaxaca. It grows usually as a terrestrial, but may sometimes be found
as a lithophyte and very occasionally as an epiphyte at elevations up to
5600 ft. (1700 m). Ames & Correll reported that in Guatemala plants have
been found in a deep shaded ravine in leaf mold, on rocks in pine-oak
forests, and occasionally in the crotch of trees at elevations up to 5600
ft. (1700 m). In Belize, plants have been found on trees and logs in moist
forests at 150--1950 ft. (50--600 m) and are said to be fairly common in
Cayo, Stann Creek and Toledo Districts. Plants have been reported in El
Salvador at 2950 ft. (900 m). In Nicaragua, plants are said to be less
common, but are found at various locations in the east, central, and
western parts of the country. Plants grow mostly as terrestrials in lower
rainforest with collections reported at 100--1650 ft. (30--500 m).
Although reported to occur in Honduras, we have not found any details of
habitat location or elevation in that country.
