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: Florida and the Bahama Islands. Plants are found in the east-central and northern Bahamas where they grow scattered in thickets, mangrove swamps, pine forests, and rocky scrubland. In Florida, the type specimen was found in Dade County growing at the edge of pine woods in damp, rocky soil. This orchid is now known to grow across the southern tip of Florida both as a terrestrial and an epiphyte. Plants may be found growing in the rich humus of densely shaded relatively dry hummocks or in collected plant debris on the bases of cypress trees as well as on cypress knees in wet forests.
