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: Rather common in Central America from southern Mexico to Panama. They are also found Colombia and Venezuela. In Panama, plants grow in Chiriquí Province. They have been reported at 50-2950 ft. (20-900 m) as epiphytes in open forests and coffee plantations, usually growing on the large branches of tree crowns. Plants may also be found as lithophytes in seasonally dry forests, and they seem to generally grow in areas with a definite dry season.
