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: Trinidad, Venezuela, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Panama. In
Venezuela, plants are found in the state of Aragua near Colonia Tovar; in
Barinas on the Río Paguey between La Vega and Curgatico at 1000 ft. (300
m); in the state of Carabobo; in the state of Miranda in the Parque Nac.
Guatopo at 1950 ft. (600 m); in Sucre near Cumaná; in Zulia along the Río
Negro; and in the Delta Amacuro Federal Territory. In Costa Rica, plants
grow in Puntarenas Province at 650-1300 ft. (200-400 m). In Panama, plants
occur in the lowlands near both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts, and
collections were made close to sea level in the Canal Zone near Pedro
Miguel and at 250 ft. (70-75 m) on the upper Chagres River in the Madden
Lake region. Plants grow in Panama Province near sea level, in the hills
near Panama City, in the forests of Juan Díaz near Panama City at 50-150
ft. (20-50 m), and in Chiva-Chiva near sea level. They also grow on San
José Island in the Perlas Archipelago, the island group in the Gulf of
Panama. In Colón Province, plants occur along the Río Gatuncillo near
Santa Rosa at 100 ft. (25 m) and in San Blas Province at 650-1150 ft.
(200-350 m). Specific information about the Columbian habitat was not
available, but Escobar (1991) reported that plants in this genus are
usually found at 1000-4900 ft. (300-1500 m) in semishaded, well-ventilated
areas of wet or semiwet forests.
