ORIGIN/HABITAT: Found in the American Tropics from southern Florida
through the Caribbean, including the Lesser Antilles. Distribution extends
from Mexico, where plants have been found in the states of Chiapas,
Guerrero, Oaxaca, Quintana Roo, San Luis Potosí, Tabasco, and Veracruz,
through Central America and into northern South America, including
Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. In Mexico, plants grow in
relatively dry areas, often in full sun. In Guatemala, numerous
collections have been made in Alta Verapaz, Chimaltenango, Chiquimula,
Guatemala, Huehuetenango, Izabal, Jutiapa, and Quezqltenango at elevations
from near sea level to 9850 ft. (3000 m). Plants have been reported from
wet mountain forests in Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua at elevations
of 1300-5250 ft. (400-1600 m). In Panama, plants have been collected from
several locations in Chiriquí Province at elevations from 100 ft. (30 m)
to 6900 ft. (2100 m). Most collections have been made at 3950-6250 ft.
(1200-1900 m), however. Plants have also bee collected in Coclé Province
at 2300-3300 ft. (700-1000 m). In Venezuela, plants have been found at
many locations in the northern coastal mountains, usually growing on shade
trees in coffee plantations at about 3500-4500 ft. (1070-1370 m). In
Ecuador, plants have been found at numerous locations on the western
slopes of the Andes throughout the country where they grow in tropical wet
forests mostly at about 1000 ft. (300 m). Plants have been found in Peru
in the departments of Amazonas and Huánuco where they are reported to be
common epiphytes in wet cloudforests at 1950-5250 ft. (600-1600 m).
