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: Venezuela. Plants grow at 2950-4900 ft. (900-1500 m) in
the intermediate to cooler parts of the coastal mountains westward from
the State of Anzoategui to the extreme eastern part of the Andes in the
State of Lara. It reportedly grows in patches of cloud forest on the
north-facing slopes, but in recent years, according to Dunsterville, it
has been found primarily on the south-facing slopes where the forests that
still exist are not true cloud forest.
