ORIGIN/HABITAT: Worldwide, with habitats in Africa, Asia, North America,
Central and South America, and the Caribbean Islands. This somewhat
variable species is one of the most widely distributed orchids in the
world and that is why it has been named so often.
In North America, Liparis nervosa is found in western Florida and southern
Mexico. In Florida, plants grow south of Fort Dyers in areas of the Big
Cypress Swamp where water stands most of the year. In this region, plants
are not found in areas of shallow water or where no water stands. Instead,
they grow on dense mats of decaying vegetable matter that tangle on fern
roots and collect on the tops of cypress knees and on stumps and logs just
above high-water level. Oddly enough, this orchid has established itself
in dense hardwood forests some 200 mi. (320 km) to the north in an area
extending northward from Tampa. In this region plants grow in moist humus
on the surface of the ground and may actually form larger colonies than in
the swamp habitat.
In Central America, plants occur in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador,
Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama, where they grow on decaying logs and
stumps and in the soil of moist forests and pastures, at elevations up to
4250 ft. (1300 m).
In South America, collections are reported from numerous locations in
Ecuador, including the provinces of Azure, Cotopaxi, Imbabura, Pastaza,
Pichincha, Tungurahua, and the Galapagos Islands. Many plants are found
between Baños and Puyo, where they grow on the ground in wet cloudforests
usually at 3300-4250 ft. (1000-1300 m). A few collections have been made
at elevations to 9500 ft. (2900 m). In other regions in South America,
collections are reported in Bolivia in the Department of Santa Cruz at
1500 ft. (450 m), in Peru in the Department of Amazonas at 400 ft. (120
m), in Venezuela in the state of Bolívar and the Federal Territory of
Amazonas at about 350 ft. (100 m). Distribution extends as far south as
Brazil and Paraguay.
In the Caribbean, plants are reported on Cuba, on St. Thomas and Tortola
in the Virgin Islands, on the island of Jamaica where the species is
rather widespread, on Puerto Rico where plants are common in most areas
except along the south coast. Liparis nervosa grows on the ground in wet
forests from near sea level to 3450 ft. (0-1050 m).
In Africa distribution is extremely widespread with plants reported from
Angola, Benin, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Equatorial
Guinea, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Tanzania, Uganda, Zaire,
Zambia, Zimbabwe, Madagascar, and possibly South Africa. Plants usually
are found in woodlands, but they sometimes occur in open, wet grasslands.
They may grow in shade or in full sun at 1650-6000 ft. (500-1830 m).
In Asia, plants are known from India northward to Japan and the
Philippines. Collections are reported in Yunnan Province in southwest
China, in northern and peninsular Thailand, and from several locations in
Vietnam where plants were found at 650-4250 ft. (200-1300 m).
