ORIGIN/HABITAT: Mexico, Guatemala, and El Salvador. In Mexico, this orchid was discovered near Manzanillo in the state of Colima and has since been found in the states of Jalisco and Guerrero. Plants grow in tropical semideciduous forest of mixed palm and hardwood in hot, dry coastal areas from near sea level to about 500 ft. (150 m). Plants have been found in Guatemala on trees in dry forests at elevations up to 3300 ft. (1000 m). Collections have also been reported in El Salvador, but details of habitat elevation were not given.
