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: This almost aquatic orchid is found in the southeastern
United States from the coastal areas of North and South Carolina, eastern
and southern Georgia, and all of Florida, Distribution extends westward in
a relatively narrow band along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico through all
of the Gulf coast states and eastern Mexico and then widens to include all
of Mexico from about the state of Oaxaca southward, all of Central
America, and the northern parts of Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana and Surinam
in northern South America. Distribution also includes all of the Caribbean
Islands from Cuba southward to Trinidad. This orchid was found originally
on the margins of ponds near Savannah, Georgia and is now known to occur
mostly in rather wet situations ranging from almost full sun to deep shade
in or near ponds or swamps or in roadside ditches. Luer (1972) reported,
"In woodland pools and within swamps it may grow into great floating
masses, its roots entwined, and enmeshed in whatever floating debris may
happen along."
