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: Cuba, Beilze, and Mexico. In Belize, plants are found in
the Orange Walk, Belize, and Cayo Districts where they grow in rather dry
forest and shrub below 350 ft. (100 m). In Mexico, plants are found in the
states of Campeche, Quintana Roo and Yucatán where they grow in dry scrub
forest and tropical deciduous forest from near sea level to about 500 ft.
(150 m). We were unable to find details of habitat location and elevation
in Cuba.
The plants reported as occurring in Florida in earlier literature were
described as Encyclia boothiana (Lindley) Dressler var. erythronioides
(Small) Lure, which was later considered a synonym of Encyclia boothiana
(Lindley) Dressley subsp. erythronioides (Small) Hágsater ex Christenson
and are now considered synonymous with Prosthechea boothiana (Lindley)
Higgins. These plants were first discovered on Key Largo, but before
development destroyed its habitat, it was said to be a relatively common
epiphyte in the hammocks of Dade and Monroe Counties. Luer (1972) reported
that although they are now greatly depleted in numbers, "they can still be
found in a few mosquito-infested swamps from Key Largo to Cape Sable.
