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: Ecuador and Peru. This lithophytic orchid was first
discovered in Ecuador in Tungurahua Province on Turgurahua Volcano at
10,000-11,000 ft. (3050-3350 m) about 1872. Since that time it has been
found on both the eastern and western sloped of the Andes with collections
reported in the province of Tungurahua near Baños at 5900-10,500 ft.
(1800-3200 m), in Napo Province between Papallacta and Baeza at 6750 ft.
(2050 m), and in Pichincha Province east of Tandapi on the new road
between Quito and Santo Domingo at 6550-8200 ft. (2000-2500 m). Plants
grow as lithophytes on canyon walls at higher elevations in cloudforests.
Plants have also been found in northern Peru in the department of Amazonas
where they were growing in the lower reaches of very damp cloudforests,
usually high on exposed branches, at 6900-7550 ft. (2100-2300 m)
