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, most of Central America, much of northern South
America southward to Peru and Brazil, and the islands in the Caribbean
from Jamaica to Trinidad, including the Greater and Lesser Antilles.
Ackerman (1995), however, reported that this orchid has not been collected
on Puerto Rico in 100 years, and visitors to Trinidad report that the
species is now very rare on that island because of heavy collecting
pressure. The species was originally discovered in Jamaica, and plants are
reportedly widespread there except in extremely hot seaside areas. Through
most of its range, Encyclia fragrans is said to be rather common. It grows
as an epiphyte in a variety of habitats, including tall evergreen forests,
wet tropical forests, or montane cloudforest mostly at 1650-4900 ft.
(500-1500 m). In Mexico, this species is considered rather rare. Plants
are reported from the states of Oaxaca and Guerrero, and possibly
Guanajuato and Jalisco, where they grow in oak forests at 650-2800 ft.
(200-850 m). In Costa Rica, the plant is locally common in lowland
tropical rainforests and lower montane forests at elevations of 150-6550
ft. (50-2000 m). Plants are frequently seen in the shaded canopies of
secondary forests and pasture trees. In Ecuador, plants grow on trees all
along the western slopes of the Andes in wet tropical forests and montane
cloudforests at 1950-2300 ft. (600-700 m). In Brazil, this species
inhabits the hot humid lowlands from Amazonas and Pará in the north to the
cooler lowlands of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul in the south.
