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: Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua. In Nicaragua, plants grow on trees in dry hilly pastures and in roadside forests. Near Matagalpa and Managua they have been found at 1950-3300 ft. (600-1000 m). In Mexico, plants grow on trees on protected hillsides and in stream-valleys at 1000-3600 ft. (300-1100 m) on Pacific-facing slopes. The habitat extends from the State of Sinaloa southward to the border with Guatemala. Plants are also reported on the Revillagigedo Islands, which are located about 450 mi. (725 km) off the coast of the State of Colima.
