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, Central America, Colombia, and Ecuador. In Mexico,
plants are found in Vera Cruz, Oaxaca, and Chiapas, but detailed
habitation information was not reported. In Belize, this very common
orchid is found in all districts. Plants grow on trees in forests at
100-2450 ft. (30-750 ft.) and often persist on isolated trees after land
has been cleared. In Guatemala, plants attach to trees and rocks in
forests, coffee plantations, and in open, dry country from sea level to
3300 ft. (0-1000 m) with collections reported in the Departments of Alta
Verapaz, Izabal, Petén, Guezaltenango, and Sacatepéquez. In Nicaragua,
plants have been collected in the Departments of Izabal, Boaco, Chontales,
Granada, Jintega, Rio San Juan, and Zelaya at 150-3300 ft. (40-1000 m). In
Costa Rica, plants grow on Pacific and Caribbean lowlands with collections
reported in the Departments of Limón, Puntarenas, and San Jose at 50-1300
ft. (20-400 m). In Panama, plants occur at numerous locations in the Canal
Zone at 50-350 ft. (20-100 m), in Panamá Province at about 150 ft. (50 m),
in Colón Province at 100-1200 ft. (30-370 m), in Veraguas Province at
about 100 ft. (30 m), and in Bocas del Toro in the vicinity of Chiriquí
Lagoon. Many collections are reported in western Ecuador in the Provinces
of El Oro, Esmeraldas, Guayas, Los Rios, and Manabi at 250-3300 ft.
(70-1000 m). Escobar (1992) stated that Trigonidium egertonianum is the
most common Trigonidium species in Colombia and that it grows in the hot
lowlands, but specific information about habitat location was not given.
