ORIGIN/HABITAT: Ecuador and Peru. This orchid is widespread in Ecuador,
having been found in the provinces of Azuay, Carchi, Imbabura, Loja,
Morona-Santiago, Napo, Pastaza, Pichincha, Tungurahua, and
Zamora-Chinchipe where it grows as a terrestrial on steep slopes in wet
mountain forests at 3300-9850 ft. (1000-3000 m). In Peru, Schweinfurth
(1958-1961) reported collections in the department of Cuzco at 5900 ft.
(1800 m), in the department of Huánuco near Pampayaco and Cuchero at 3500
ft. (1070 m) and near Tingo María at 4900 ft. (1500 m), and in the
department of San Martín between Tingo María and Pucallpa at 5250 ft.
(1600 m). More recently, Bennett & Christenson (1998) reported plants in
the department of Pasco near Oxapampa where they were growing as
terrestrials at about 6250 ft. (1900 m) in the lower levels of wet montane
cloudforest.
