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, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras. The location
of the habitat of this rather rare orchid in Guatemala is uncertain, but
plants are were earlier said to come from the Baja Verapaz region, while
later collections were reported from near sea level in the vicinity of
Lake Izabal. The species is thought to now be extinct in Mexico, but in
previous times, plants were found in Chiapas near the border with
Guatemala. Hágsater & Soto (2003) stated, "There is no information about
the habitat of this species in Mexico. However, it seems to be native of
cloud forests about 1400—1800 m, like the habitat recorded in Guatemala
and El Salvador." Because of uncertainty as to actual habitat elevation,
the following climate table and cultural suggestions should be used
somewhat cautiously.
