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: Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Plants have been found and are rather common in both the British and American Virgin Islands. They have also been found on the Puerto Rican islands of Culebra and Vieques, which lie between the east coast of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Plants grow as epiphytes, lithophytes, and terrestrials in dry to moist scrub forests between sea level and 650 ft. (200 m). Plants are often found near the beach where they are sometimes exposed to ocean spray.
