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: Ecuador. The type specimen was found on the eastern slopes
of the Andes near Loja in southern Ecuador. Although formally described in
1874, Jenny (1993) stated that no further finds have been recorded, and it
is unlikely that it is in cultivation at this time.
