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: Hispaniola. Plants are probably endemic to the Island of
Hispaniola, although they have been previously reported in the literature
as occurring in a wide-ranging area from Florida and the Bahaman Islands
to Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Leeward Islands. Withner (1996)
reports that Dod believes from his research and field work that Tetramicra
canaliculata is endemic to Hispaniola and that the broad distribution
previously reported resulted from misidentifications of the closely
related species, Tetramicra elegans (Hamilton) Cogniaux. Moir (1978)
reported these plants as occurring in the area south of Lake Enriquillo in
the southwestern part of the Dominican Republic. This is a salt-water lake
that lies several feet below sea level, and the vegetation in the
surrounding region includes many members of the cacti and a heavy covering
of thorn blush. Tetramicra canaliculata is found in this low-lying,
desertlike region, usually growing on large outcroppings of huge boulders
of coral limestone. Withner (1996) reports that plants grow among
limestone rocks or in tufts of grass, sometimes in sandy areas of
chaparral, or on rocky hillsides, usually exposed to full light.
