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: Central America from southern Mexico to Costa Rica. In
Guatemala, this rare orchid has been found on the Pacific-facing slopes
near Chuikabal in the department of Quezaltenango. Plants grow as
epiphytes on tree trunks in humid forests or open dry regions, usually at
elevations below 3300 ft. (1000 m). In Costa Rica, plants grow as
epiphytes in deep shade in very moist sites, usually on small branches.
They are found in tropical rainforest at 2600-3300 ft. (800-1000 m) on
both the Pacific and Caribbean slopes.
