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. The habitat was apparently restricted to a small
region in Pinchincha Province in the western foothills of the Andes.
Plants were collected just south of the equator at the southern end of the
Montañas de Ila where they grew as epiphytes in very wet cloudforest at
about 1750 ft. (540 m).
