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: Brazil. This orchid, which originates in Bahia, grows in
the dry, desertlike, fossilized-sandstone tablelands of the Serra do
Capa-Bode. This region is part of the larger Serra do Sincorá. Plants grow
exposed to almost full sun on Vellozia bushes or on rocky ledges at
3950–4900 ft. (1200–1500 m). Although rainfall is low for long periods
each year, additional moisture is available from dew, fog, and mist that
develops almost nightly on the windward side of the plateau. In addition,
the fibrous stems of the host Vellozia bushes collect and hold water
droplets very efficiently, thereby providing moisture to resident orchids
for several hours after the fog or mist has dissipated.
