ORIGIN/HABITAT: Brazil. This orchid was found originally in the Serra de Ipanema in the state of São Paulo. Plants have since been found near Poços de Caldas in the state of Minas Gerais, with reports of it also occurring in Bahia. Plants are mostly rupicolous, with some growing on plain rocks over nothing but stone, and are found from 1650-3950 ft. (500-1200 m).
