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, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
In Mexico, plants are found in the States of Veracruz and Chiapas where
they grow in shady forests at 1000-3300 ft. (300-1000 m). Over most of
their range, these plants grow in wet mountain forests on slopes facing
the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean at elevations up to about 5900 ft.
(1800 m). Although usually epiphytic, plants are sometimes found growing
lithophytically.
