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, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa
Rica, and Panama. In Guatemala, plants are terrestrial on dry, grassy
slopes among rocks or epiphytic in open mountain forests, usually at
elevations below 1950 ft. (600 m). Collections were made near Secanquim in
the Department of Alta Verapaz, and in Montaña del Mico near Izabal in the
Department of Izabal. In Belize, plants are usually terrestrial in open
grassy areas and in mountain and coastal pine ridge areas, often in dense
grass growing among small bushes. Plants are rather common in the Cayo and
Toledo Districts including the Mountain Pine Ridge Reserve. In Honduras,
collections have been made near Tegucigalpa and Choluteca. In Nicaragua,
where plants are frequently found growing on rocky slopes or on trees in
wet forests. Plants have been collected in scattered locations in the
Departments of Esteli, Chontales, and Zelaya from near sea level to 2700
ft. (0-825 m). In Costa Rica, plants grow in the Pacific lowlands. In
Panama, O. ensatum is a rather common terrestrial species of the Pacific
slope that often grows in low scrub in association with Peristeria elata
and in open grassland. Collections have been made in the foothills east of
Panama City at about 100 ft. (30 m). In the northern part of its range,
this species is reported only on the Atlantic watershed; but in the south,
it is found only on the Pacific slopes.
