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: Southern Florida through Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, the West Indies, and South America southward to Peru and Paraguay. In Belize, plants are found in swampy woodlands below 350 ft. (100 m). In Guatemala, plants are reported to be rather common in the moist, rich soil of woods and swamps at elevations up to 4900 ft. (1500 m), with collections reported near Cobán in the department of Alta Verapaz and on Cerro Tixixí in the department of Chiquimula. In Nicaragua, plants have been seen in the department of Matagalpa along the road to Aranjuez at 4600 ft. (1400 m) and in the department of Jinotega on the north slope of Volcano Yalf at 3950-4600 ft. (1200-1400 m). Although reported as occurring in Panama and southward to Peru and Paraguay, we have been unable to find any specific information on the habitat location and elevation in those regions.
