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: Peru. This orchid was discovered in the department of
Loreto where it was growing in virgin swampy woods near Tocache Mission
Post. Plants have also been collected near Tarapoto. Habitat elevation was
not reported, so we have estimated the elevation as approximately that of
the station elevation at Tarapoto. The resulting climate table and
cultural suggestions should be used somewhat cautiously, however.
