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. Plants usually grow in the hot, humid lowlands of
Amapá and Pará as well as the warmer lowlands of the States of Espírito
Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul,
but they are occasionally found in the cooler mountains. Specific habitat
elevations were not reported, so the following climate table and cultural
suggestions are based on estimated elevations and should be used somewhat
cautiously.
