The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker

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: Mexico, Central America, Colombia, and Ecuador. In Mexico, plants are found in Vera Cruz, Oaxaca, and Chiapas, but detailed habitation information was not reported. In Belize, this very common orchid is found in all districts. Plants grow on trees in forests at 100-2450 ft. (30-750 ft.) and often persist on isolated trees after land has been cleared. In Guatemala, plants attach to trees and rocks in forests, coffee plantations, and in open, dry country from sea level to 3300 ft. (0-1000 m) with collections reported in the Departments of Alta Verapaz, Izabal, Petén, Guezaltenango, and Sacatepéquez. In Nicaragua, plants have been collected in the Departments of Izabal, Boaco, Chontales, Granada, Jintega, Rio San Juan, and Zelaya at 150-3300 ft. (40-1000 m). In Costa Rica, plants grow on Pacific and Caribbean lowlands with collections reported in the Departments of Limón, Puntarenas, and San Jose at 50-1300 ft. (20-400 m). In Panama, plants occur at numerous locations in the Canal Zone at 50-350 ft. (20-100 m), in Panamá Province at about 150 ft. (50 m), in Colón Province at 100-1200 ft. (30-370 m), in Veraguas Province at about 100 ft. (30 m), and in Bocas del Toro in the vicinity of Chiriquí Lagoon. Many collections are reported in western Ecuador in the Provinces of El Oro, Esmeraldas, Guayas, Los Rios, and Manabi at 250-3300 ft. (70-1000 m). Escobar (1992) stated that Trigonidium egertonianum is the most common Trigonidium species in Colombia and that it grows in the hot lowlands, but specific information about habitat location was not given.
