This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Uncommon but widespread from southern Mexico through
Central America to Panama where plants grow in pine or oak forests at
elevations up to 6550 ft. (2000 m). Distribution extends to Venezuela and
Peru in South America. In Mexico, plants are found in pine-oak forests in
the state of Chiapas. In Guatemala, plants have been collected just south
of Cobán in Baja Verapaz and in Zacapa in the Sierra de las Minas and on
Volcán de Monos. In Nicaragua, plants grow as epiphytes in coffee
plantations and in patches of cloudforest, mostly at 3300-4900 ft.
(1000-1500 m). In Costa Rica, plants are found in both the Pacific
lowlands and the mountains. In Panama, collections have been made in the
foothills east of Panama City and in Chiriqui Province at 3950 ft. (1200
m). In Venezuela, plants grow in the State of Lara in the Cerro Negro near
the Río Claro (Barquisimeto) in forest at about 3300 ft. (1000 m) and in
the mountains east of Maracay near La Victoria. In Peru, plants are found
in the Departments of Amazonas, Cuzco, Junín, and Piura, where they grow
at 3300-9850 ft. (1000-3000 m), with those found at higher elevations
growing as terrestrials.
