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: Recently discovered in Ecuador and in the San Martin area
of Peru. In both locations, the plants grow in semishade at 3608 ft. (1100
m), on steep, east-facing, wet embankments or wet granite rocks where they
are exposed to early morning sun. In Peru, they grow in close association
with P. boisseranum, while in Ecuador, P. besseae grows very near colonies
of P. schlimii.
