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.

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Southern Central America and northern South America.
Present thinking is that this orchid is only found south of Honduras, with
the range of distribution including Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama,
Venezuela, and Colombia. It was first collected near Caracas, Venezuela
and has since been found as various locations in the region. Dunsterville
and Garay (1959) reported that plants have been found near Caracas at
Mariposa dam. Foldats (1970) reported that plants were found at 2600-5900
ft. (800-1800 m) in the National Park in the District of Aragua. In
Colombia, plants grow in the northern part of the country, north of the
Departments of Antioquia and Chocó, at 5900-8200 ft. (1800-2500 m). In
Costa Rica, S. wardii is native to the Costa Rican Meseta Central, east
and southeast of Cartago and the adjacent Reventazon area at nearly 4450
ft. (1350 m). It grows on old trees covered with spanish moss and masses
of bromeliads, particularly Tillandsias. In Panama, the orchid is common
throughout the intermediate highlands on the Pacific slope of Coclé and
Chiriquí Provinces at 1800-4000 ft. (550-1220 m).
Plants collected in El Salvador near Boquerón and in the Cerro Grande de
Apaneca at 4900 ft. (1500 m) were originally discussed as S. wardii by
Hamer (1964), but Hamer (1970) later indicated that they were actually S.
graveolens. In Guatemala, Ames and Correll reported that plants were
collected in Zacapa, on Sierra de las Minas, between Río Hondo and the
summit of the mountain at Finca Alejandría, where the orchids grew on
trees and rocks in humid forests at elevations up to 8850 ft. (2700 m).
Originally reported to be widespread in Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and
Panama, but later work indicates that the habitat for S. wardii does
extend that far north and plants from these areas are probably S.
graveolens.
