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.

ORIGIN/HABITAT: This orchid has an extremely wide range of distribution.
Plants are found from southern Florida through the West Indies, in
southern Mexico through all of Central America, and in northern South
America to as far south as southeastern Brazil and northern Bolivia. As
might be expected with such a wide range of distribution, plants are found
in a variety of habitats. In Florida, plants have been found in swampy
areas from near Miami southward. Plants are said to be widespread on the
island of Jamaica. In Puerto Rico, plants are somewhat uncommon but have
been found at numerous location in the central and northern parts of the
island where they grow as epiphytes in wet forests at 1500-2600 ft.
(450-800 m). In Mexico, this orchid is found mostly on the Caribbean/Gulf
of Mexico watershed in the states of Campeche, San Luis Potosí, Vera Cruz,
Puebla, Quintana Roo, Oaxaca, Tabasco, and Chiapas. Plants grow as
epiphytes in tropical rainforests, tropical semideciduous forests,
mangroves, and other lowland habitats from near sea level to about 4450
ft. (1350 m). In Belize, plants are found at rather low elevations in open
and stream-side forests. In Guatemala, plants grow epiphytically in dense
tropical forests, in open forests, and in cypress areas at elevations up
to 4600 ft. (1400 m). In Nicaragua, collections have been reported from
350-4600 ft. (100-1400 m) from wet lowland forests, from shaded areas near
rivers, from dense swamp forests, and form along roadsides. In Panama,
plants have been reported in the Canal Zone, but additional details were
not given. Plants in Venezuela have been found in light forest near
Caracas at 4500 ft. (1370 m), and the species is said to be fairly common
in many other places in the coastal mountain range. Plants have also been
found at various sites on the Río Paragua between Raudal and Salto
Chalimana at about 1200 ft. (370 m). In Ecuador, plants are found at
numerous locations in wet forests and mountain cloudforests at 350-2400
ft. (100-730 m). In Peru, plants are found mostly on the eastern slopes of
the Andes and the Amazon Basin at 350-5250 ft. (100-1600 m). In Bolivia,
plants grow as epiphytes in moist tropical forests, forming dense mats on
thick tree limbs. Collections have been reported in the departments of La
Paz, Cochabamba, and Santa Cruz at elevations of 750-1650 ft. (230-500 m).
This species is widespread in Brazil, growing in both the hot, humid
lowlands and the cooler mountain ranges to as far south as Rio Grande do
Sul.
