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, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela. In Ecuador, plants have been collected at numerous locations in the provinces of Carchi, Imbabura, Loja, Pichincha, and Tungurahua with colletions especially noted in Pichincha Province between Quito and Santo Domingo. Plants are found at 3750-7850 ft. (1150-2400 m), but most collections are made at about 6550 ft. (2000 m). In Peru, plants grow in wet mountain forests on trees or the forest floor, but Dodson & Bennett (1989) reported, "Plants growing in deep leaf mold were much more robust than epiphytic specimens." In the Peruvian habitat, plants are found in the department of Amazonas at 7850 ft. (2400 m), in the department of Cusco at 6550 ft. (2000 m), in the department of Huánuco at 6050 ft. (1850 m), and in the department of Junín in the Chanchamayo Valley at 4900-5250 ft. (1500-1600 m). In Bolivia, plants grow on trees in wet, mountain cloudforests in the departments of Cochabamba and La Paz, but no additional information was provided. In Venezuela, plants are found in the state of Bolívar on the south flank of Auyantepuí at about 3500 ft. (1070 m), near Caracas at 4900 ft. (1500 m), and in the state of Mérida at 4900 ft. (1500 m). In Colombia, plants are found at 5900-8200 ft. (1800-2500 m), but habitat location is not given. Plants are reported to occur in the West Indies, but we found no records of collection in that region.
