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: Jenny (1993-Orchid Digest) reported that the habitat
extends from Guatemala to Costa Rica and includes the northern portion of
Panama. He stated that all collections are from shady, very warm,
constantly wet lowlands below 800 ft. (250 m). Other writers report this
species throughout the Caribbean watershed in most of Central America,
with distribution including Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras,
Nicaragua, and Panama. It is uncommon in most regions, however.
In Belize, plants grow on trees in the Toledo District in wet broad-leaved
forests at about 350 ft. (100 m) and in humid mountain forests. In
Guatemala, plants grow on forest trees up to 3950 ft. (1200 m). In
Nicaragua, plants have been collected in Jinotega Province along the Rio
Cua at 2150 ft. (650 m), and along the road to El Tuma near Finca Bilbao
at 3600-3950 ft. (1100-1200 m). In Costa Rica, Horich (1974) reports that
this orchid grows in dark niches or ravines along rivers or creeks in the
steaming, hot, lowland, rainforest jungles on the Atlantic side at sea
level to rarely more than 1650 ft. (500 m). Mora and Atwood (1993),
however, report that Costa Rican plants grow in shady lowland tropical
evergreen forests at 1650-3950 ft. (500-1200 m).
