ORIGIN/HABITAT: Brazil. Plants usually grow in the hot, humid lowlands of Amapá and Pará as well as the warmer lowlands of the States of Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul, but they are occasionally found in the cooler mountains. Specific habitat elevations were not reported, so the following climate table and cultural suggestions are based on estimated elevations and should be used somewhat cautiously.
