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 to Brazil and Peru. In Costa Rica, plants grow
in the mountains above 2600 ft. (800 m). In Panama, they are sometimes
found in Chiriquí Province at about 6000 ft. (1830 m), but they are more
often found in wet forests north of El Valle de Antón in Coclé Province.
In Venezuela, this orchid is found at many locations in the cooler regions
of Venezuelan Guayana in Bolívar State and the Federal Territory of
Amazonas. Plants are found on Mt. Roraima as well as other mountains and
mesas at elevations of 3500-8400 ft. (1070-2560 m). In Brazil, plants are
found in the State of Amazonas, but specific habitat was not reported. In
Peru, plants are found near Moyobamba in the Department of San Martín,
where they grow on trees in mountain forests at 3600 ft. (1100 m).
Schweinfurth (1958-1961) reports that Eriopsis colombiana Schlechter,
which is now considered a synonym of Eriopsis biloba, has been found near
Pataz in the Department of La Libertad at 5900-6550 ft. (1800-2000 m).
