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, Central America, Colombia, Venezuela, the West
Indies, and Florida. In Mexico, plants grow on mountain slopes facing the
Atlantic Ocean in the states of Campeche, Chiapas, Hildalgo, Oaxaca,
Puebla, Quintana Roo, San Luis Potosí, Tabasco, Tamaulipas, and Veracruz.
They are found in open forests and clearings in many types of forests
including tropical deciduous, tropical evergreen, and oak. Habitat range
is listed as near sea level to 6550 ft. (0-2000 m). Plants usually grow in
the midrange of the preceding elevations, however, and in much of Central
America, plants are found at 1000-4250 ft. (300-1300 m). In Venezuela,
plants were seen in open forests above Pie del Cerro near La Victoria at
about 5000 ft. (1520 m) and in cloudforests along the road to Choroní at
about 4500 ft. (1370 m). In Puerto Rico, this orchid is widespread and
common. It grows in both shady and bright conditions in nearly dry to wet
forests at 650-2950 ft. (200-900 m). In the Virgin Islands, however,
plants are reported only on St. Croix.
