ORIGIN/HABITAT: Jamaica. Broughtonia sanguinea is found over most of the
island, and it has been reported from sea level and about 2500 ft. (0-760
m). Plants are usually found within about 6 mi. (10 km) of the coast at
less than 1600 ft. (490 m), however, and the heaviest concentrations are
reported along the coast on the south side of the island near sea level.
