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: Trinidad, French Guiana, Surinam, Guyana, Venezuela,
Colombia, Ecuador, and northern Brazil. Throughout most of its range, this
orchid grows below 3300 ft. (1000 m) as a lowland epiphyte, but many
Ecuadoran collections are recorded from as low as 1300 ft. (400 m) between
Mendez and Morona in Morona-Santiago Province to as high as 5600 ft. (1700
m) between Baeza and Lago Agro in Sucumbios Province. Numerous collections
are also reported in Pastaza Province near Puyo, in Zamora-Chinchipe
Province near Zamora, between Loja and Zamora, and in the Cordillera
Condor. In Venezuela, plants grow east of Puerto Ayacucho in Amazonas
Territory at 1050 ft. (320 m); in the state of Tachira east of San
Cristóbal at 2300-3300 ft. (700-1000 m); in the state of Aragua near
Colonia Tovar; the state of Barinas along the Río Micmay; the state of
Bolívar on the Río Toro at 650-800 ft. (200-250 m), near Canaima, and on
the Río Caroní; the state of Anzoategui at 1650-1950 ft. (500-600 m); and
the Federal Territory of Delta Amacuro along the lower Río Cuyubini and on
the Río Acure between La Margarita and Puerto Miranda. In Surinam, plants
are found in forests on the northern coastal plain. On Trinidad Island,
plants occur in numerous locations. In Brazil, plants grow in the hot,
humid lowlands in the states of Amazonas, Mato Grosso, and Pará. In
Colombia, this orchid reportedly grows at 3300-5900 ft. (1000-1800 m), but
no details of habitat location were reported. We found no specific
information about the habitat in Guyana or French Guiana.
