ORIGIN/HABITAT: Florida, southern Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Costa
Rica. In Florida, plants are found in the southwest corner of the state,
but specific details of the habitat were not reported. In Mexico, plants
have been reported as growing epiphytically in canyons, forested areas,
and coffee plantations at up to 3950 ft. (1200 m) in the states of
Chiapas, Guerrero, Oaxaca, San Luis Potosí, and Veracruz. In Belize,
plants are found, but are rare, in the Toledo District where they grow on
trees in wet, broad-leaved forest at 250-650 ft. (70-200 m). Plants are
also reported to be uncommon in Guatemala where they have been found in
various locations growing as epiphytes in damp forests and coffee
plantations at elevations up to 3950 ft. (1200 m). In Costa Rica, plants
have been reported as growing on the Caribbean-facing slopes, but no other
details were given.
