ORIGIN/HABITAT: South America. This terrestrial orchid is widespread from Surinam southward through many states in Brazil to as far south as Argentina and Paraguay, with plants reported to as far west at western Ecuador. In Brazil, plants have been reported in both moist, mountain habitats and in the hot, humid lowlands. In Ecuador, this orchid has been found near Zaruma in El Oro Province where it was growing in seasonally dry montane cloud forest at about 4250 ft. (1300 m). We have been unable to find details of habitat location and elevation in other regions.
