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: Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. These plants were
first in southwestern Ecuador and are now known to occur near Zaruma in
the Province of El Oro as well as in the Province of Loja. They grow in
seasonally dry cloud forest at about 4250 ft. (1300 m). In Peru, plants
have been found in the Department of Pasco growing high in the canopy in
cool, wet cloud forest at 6400 ft. (1950 m) a few miles south of
Villarica. In Venezuela, plants have been found near Caracas at 3050-5600
ft. (930-1700 m), at several locations in the State of Aragua, and near
Merida at 6250-6900 ft. (1900-2100 m). Details of the habitat in Colombia
have not been reported, but the plants are said to be found on the eastern
slopes of the Andes.
