ORIGIN/HABITAT: Distributed from Mexico southward through Central America
to Venezuela, the Guianas, Brazil, and Peru in South America. In Mexico,
plants have been found in the states of Vera Cruz, Oaxaca, Tabasco,
Yucatan, and Quintana Roo. In Guatemala, plants have been collected from
numerous locations in the departments of Alta Verapaz, Izabal, and Petén
where they grow on trees, often on ant nests, in dense, often swamp,
forests at up to 3300 ft. (1000 m). Plants have been reported in Nicaragua
where they were growing along the Río Coco in north-central Nicaragua at
about 450 ft. (140 m) near the border with Honduras. In Coast Rica, plants
are reported from both the Caribbean and Pacific lowlands. Plants in
Panama have been found in the Canal Zone in Mojinga swamp and at several
locations in Panamá Province. Williams & Allen (1980) reported, "This
species usually has its roots inhabited by ants. It is said to deteriorate
in cultivation if the ants are exterminated." In Venezuela, plants have
been found growing as terrestrials or epiphytes the states of Anzoategui,
Bolívar, Miranda, Zulia, and in the Federal Territories of Amazonas and
Delta Amacuro at 350-1950 ft. (100-600 m). In Peru, plants have been found
near Iquitos in the department of Loreto where they were growing
epiphytically in low-elevation, moist, tropical forest.
