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: Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela. The type specimen
was discovered in Peru, but details of habitat location or elevation was
not reported. In Venezuela, Dunsterville & Garay (1966) reported that this
terrestrial orchid is "Fairly common on the floor of light rather scrubby
forest (occasional moderately large trees) near top of Páramo La Negra at
10,000 ft. In one narrow ravine the banks were in places densely covered
with a mat of these plants; when visited in June this site was very wet
and uncomfortably cold." The páramo is a rather strange, ecological
formation almost exclusively found in the northern Andes. It is a treeless
region covered with rather low-growing, unusual vegetation and is located
between the upper-elevation humid forests and the very high-elevation
Andean tundra, usually above 9850 ft. (3000 m). Visitors to these regions
report that temperatures often fall below freezing for brief periods and
that early-morning frost is frequent. Foldats (1969-1970) reported
collections from several locations in the state of Mérida at 7850-10,500
ft. (2400-3200 m). Although reported as occurring in Colombia and Ecuador,
we have been unable to find any information pertaining to habitat location
or elevation in those regions.
