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: Brazil. Plants are found both in the cooler mountains and warm lowlands in the states of Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, and possibly Rio Grande do Sul. We have been unable to locate reports of habitat elevation, but the McQueens (1993) report that cultivated plants "require a relatively humid, intermediate to warm environment with good ventilation and bright indirect light to semi-shade." We have estimated habitat elevation based on this report, but growers should use the resulting table and cultural suggestions somewhat cautiously.
