Departments of Alta Verapaz, Huehuetenango, Jutiapa, and Zacapa, where
they grow on trees and rocks in humid forests and on rocks and cactus
trees in sunny, desertlike locations at 5400 ft. (1650 m) or less. In El
Salvador, plants are found on Cerro Verde at 3300 ft. (1000 m). In
Honduras, collections are reported from the mountains not far from
Tegucigalpa. In Nicaragua, plants are found in the Department of Jinotega
in a dry cloudforest at 3750 ft. (1150 m). In Costa Rica, plants are found
in the mountains. In Panama, plants grow in Chiriquí Province at 3450-4750
ft. (1050-1450 m). In Venezuela, plants are fairly common around Caracas
usually below 4250 ft. (1300 m), but plants are also found at 2600 ft.
(800 m) in the State of Aragua, near La Ciénaga in the State of Miranda,
and near Kunana in the State of Zulia at 3850 ft. (1175 m). In Ecuador,
