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: Guatemala and southern Mexico. This very rare orchid grows
on moist cloudforest trees. Williams (1951) indicated that although
Bateman and Schlechter reported that Palumbina candida grew in Mexico,
Williams felt that it probably is endemic to Guatemala and the habitat
does not extend into Mexico. Ames and Correll (1952-1965) reported that
they had seen only horticultural specimens and knew of no collections in
almost 100 years. Hágsater & Salazar (1990) reported the occurrence of
this species near the Guatemalan border in the State of Chiapas. They
reported that Palumbina candida is endemic to the Sierra Madre de Chiapas
in Mexico and Guatemala, growing in rainforests and pine-oak cloudforest
at 5250-6900 ft. (1600-2100 m).
