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. This epiphytic species was reportedly discovered in the Western Cordillera at about 6550 ft. (2000 m). The plants were said to come from the Department of Risaralda near Anserma, but later attempts to collect additional plants have been unsuccessful. Therefore, all plants now in cultivation come from the original collection. Although habitat details are uncertain, plants have been successfully cultivated near Medellín and in La Ceja. Growers should use the following climate data with caution, however.
