ORIGIN/HABITAT: Surinam, British Guyana, and Venezuela at 2800-7000 ft. (853-2134 m). The plants usually grow in moist areas near waterfalls or seepage areas. They may be found in rock fissures, in the thin layer of soil over rocks, or in matted tree roots. Some grow in dark, rocky places with sparse vegetation on shady, south-facing slopes, while others grow in open areas with dappled light.
