ORIGIN/HABITAT: Widely distributed from Florida through the West Indies, Mexico, and most of Central America. Distribution extends southward to include of temperate and tropical South America to as far south as Argentina. The plant was discovered in Florida in Hernando County in 1881 and was not collected again for 80 years when plants were found in a hardwood hammock south of Miami. In Jamaica, plants are found in numerous locations on the island, growing in cool, shaded locations. Plants have been found in numerous locations in Puerto Rico where they grow as terrestrials in shady sites in the understory of moist and wet forests at 650-3100 ft. (200-950 m). Plants have been reported as occurring in the Virgin Islands on St. Croix, St. John, St. Thomas, and Tortola. Details of the habitat in the Virgin Islands were not reported. In Mexico, plants have been found in the states of Veracruz, Morelos, Guerrero, and Oaxaca, but details of habitat location and elevation were not reported. In Guatemala, Ames & Correll [(1952-1953, and 1965) 1985] reported that these plants have been found in many locations around the country, growing in leaf mold and loamy soil in forests and dense thickets at elevations up to 9850 ft. (3000 m).
