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. Plants are found in the eastern branch of the Andes in the Department of Santander, primarily in the area between Pamplona and Bucaramanga. They normally grow on short stunted trees, but they are also found on exposed precipices and bare rocks growing in almost full sun. We were unable to find references to specific habitat elevation so climate data is for station elevation at Bucaramanga. However, the temperatures indicated in the climate table should be used with caution.
