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: Brazil, in the State of Rio de Janeiro. Plants grow in
coastal swamps and marshes on stunted trees that create a dense canopy.
The habitat continues inland and includes islands in the Rio Paraiba,
where this orchid grows on low trees near the water. These rare plants,
which are found in a very small area, have been subjected to severe
over-collection. In addition, much of the habitat has been destroyed when
land was cleared for agriculture. As a result, the species is thought to
be essentially extinct in nature, but occasional plants are found in a few
remote, inaccessible places that have not yet been cleared or burned.
