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).
