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: Widespread on the eastern slopes of the Andes in Colombia,
Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, the Guianas, and Venezuela. In Brazil,
plants have been collected at Rio Capisan in the state of Para. They were
growing in very moist, warm rainforests, usually in trees, but they
occasionally grow on the surface of steep slopes and along the edge of
roads in low vegetation. In Venezuela, plants grow on the banks of the
Orinoco between San Antonio and Tamatama in hot forests at 1300 ft. (400
m). In Ecuador, Stanhopea candida is found in Napo Province growing in wet
tropical forests on large tree branches overhanging rivers at 500-1300 ft.
(150-400 m). In Peru, plants have been found in the Department of Huanuco
growing in wet forests near Leoncio Prado along the Rio Monzon at 2650 ft.
(810 m). In Bolivia, plants have been collected in the extreme northeast
corner of the Department of Cochabamba near Chimoré at 1000 ft. (300 m)
where they were growing on large limbs of canopy trees.
