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: Brazil and Peru. Plants are said to be widespread in Brazil in an area from Pernambuco in the north to Rio Grande do Sul in the south and from the Atlantic coast in the east to Goiás and Mato Grosso in the west. McQueens (1992) reported that this plants grows in tall trees at about 5900 ft. (1800 m), but Pabst and Dungs (1975) indicated that plants are found from the hot, humid lowlands to the cool, moist mountains, to the hot, dry plains and savannas of the interior. This indicates that the plants probably are adaptable, which is reflected by the statement made by the McQueens (1992) who said, "Although preferring intermediate to warm temperatures, it will grow cool once well established." In Peru, plants were collected near Tarma in the Department of Junín. Plants grew in large clumps on a dry, rotten tree trunks in a sunny spot in the tall forest at 5900 ft. (1800 m).
