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: Mexico southward through Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador,
Nicaragua, and Costa Rica to northern Panama. It is the most widely
distributed of any of the Barkeria species. Throughout its range, plants
grow at 1650-5600 ft. (500-1700 m). In Mexico, they are found in the
States of Chiapas, Guerrero, Jalisco, México, Michocán, Morelos, and
Oaxaca. They usually grow on trees along canyon streams, but plants are
reported to adapt to trees and shrubs along city streets. In Central
America, plants are reported in hillside pastures with low growth, on low
hills with scattered trees, and on rocky hillsides.
