Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range CI (58-75°F). Culture is intermediate with very bright light and a medium that while porous retains some moisture. Brassias do not like to dry out too much. I grow mine in moss in a clay pot.
Comments: Parent plant: One of the smaller brassias, with a short spike, and a strong scent of cinnamon.

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: Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and
Peru. In Costa Rica, numerous collections are reported on the Pacific side
of the isthmus in the Provinces of Alajuela and Guanacaste. In Alajuela
Province, plants grow from near sea level to 3150 ft. (0–960 m). In
Guanacaste Province, they were found at 1950–3950 ft. (600–1200 m). In
Panama, plants grow on Pacific side of the isthmus in the Provinces of
Coclé and Veraguas at 3000–3400 ft. (910–1040 m) and northeast of Panama
City in Panama Province at 2600–3950 ft. (800–1200 m). In Ecuador, plants
are found on the western slopes of the Andes in the Provinces of Canar,
Chimborazo, Cotopaxi, Napo, and Pichincha at 1650–3300 ft. (500–1000 m).
Plants usually grow on moss-covered trees in cloudforests or wet,
lower-elevation rainforests. In Venezuela, this orchid (as Brassia
rhizomatosa) is found between Duaca and Agua Fría. In Colombia, it grows
at 3300–5900 ft. (1000–1800 m). This is the only information available
about the habitat in Venezuela and Colombia, and no information was
available for the Peruvian habitat.
