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, Colombia, and Peru. Plants are found on the
western slopes of the Andes from northern Colombia to northern Ecuador.
Plants are found from near sea level to 3950 ft. (0-1200 m). They grow in
very warm, moist forests and have moved onto coffee and cacao plantations.
In Ecuador, plants have been found in the provinces of Pichincha,
Cotopaxi, Bolivar, and Los Ríos near the Rio Palenque Science center where
they were growing either as epiphytes or on embankments in wet tropical
forest and in wet mountain cloudforest at 500-1300 ft. (150-400 m). This
uncommon orchid is found infrequently in understory trees in shady forest.
Although reportedly found in Peru, we have seen no reports in recent
literature of either collections in Peru or details of habitat location
there.
