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: 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.
