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: Ecuador. These plants have been found on the eastern
slopes of the Andes in the central and southern Provinces of Bolivar,
Cañar, Azuay, and El Oro. They grow as epiphytes in relatively dry
mountain cloudforests at 3300-9850 ft. (1000-3000 m). Some writers include
northwestern Peru in the range of distribution, while others indicate the
plants are also found in Colombia. We have found no specific habitat
information for plants from either of these regions, however.
