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: Brazil. Plants originate in the states of Espírito Santo
and Minas Gerais. Distribution ranges westward from central Espírito Santo
to far into the interior in Minas Gerais and from the vicinity of Belo
Horizonte in the south to near Pedra Azul in the north. Plants usually
grow on trees in relatively open, humid forests along rivers and in swampy
areas at 1950–4250 ft. (600–1300 m). They most often grow in rather
protected positions low on tree trunks.
