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: Distributed from southern Florida, through Mexico and
Central America, the West Indies, and into northern South America as far
south as Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil. Plants grow mostly as epiphytes on
trees and rocks, but occasionally may grow as terrestrials. They are found
in both wet and dry regions, growing in tall, evergreen lowland forest, in
open fields, and disturbed forests. Plants most frequently are found at
elevations between 350 and 3300 ft. (100-1000 m), but collections have
been reported from as high as 6550 ft. (2000 m). This widely distributed
orchid has been collected many times, and a long list of collection
locations, elevations, and dates is available at Tropicos.
