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: Colombia and Ecuador. This species is relatively common and locally abundant in the cloudforests of Pichincha, Imbabura and Manabí Provinces of northwestern Ecuador. In addition, plants have recently been discovered in neighboring southern Colombia above Ricaurte in the Department of Nariño. Plants are usually found at 4900-6900 ft. (1500-2100 m), but in Manabí Province in Ecuador, they have been reported growing as low as 1950 ft. (600 m). Plants seem to grow equally well as epiphytes on mossy trees in cloudforests or as terrestrials in shady humus or on dirt road embankments. They may also occasionally be found growing on rocks.
