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: Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia. Oerstedella wallisii was first discovered in the Frontino district of northern Colombia. Plants were growing as epiphytes in the Cordillera Occidental at 3950-6550 ft. (1200-2000 m). This species has since been found in Panama and Costa Rica growing either in the mountains at about 6550 ft. (2000 m) where the dry season is not as severe, or in wet forests at somewhat lower elevations on slopes facing the Caribbean. While plants are usually found as epiphytes, they also grow as terrestrials.
