at elevations up to 7550 ft. (2300 m). Plants have been found in the
departments of Amatitlán near Pacaya, Baja Verapaz at several locations
near Santa Rosa and along the margin of the big swamp below Pantín,
Chimaltenango near Finca Alameda, Sacatepéquez on Volcán de Fuego, and
Santa Rosa near the city of Santa Rosa. The plant that was described as
Spiranthes cobanensis Schlechter but is now considered a synonym of
Kionophyton pyramidalis was found in the departemet of Alta Verapaz near
Cobán. In Mexico, plants are said to be not uncommon and are found in the
states of Vera Cruz, Mexico, Morelos, Jalisco, Michoacan, Oaxaca, and
Distrito Federal. Details of habitat location, type, or elevation were not
