ORIGIN/HABITAT: Florida, southern Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Costa Rica. In Florida, plants are found in the southwest corner of the state, but specific details of the habitat were not reported. In Mexico, plants have been reported as growing epiphytically in canyons, forested areas, and coffee plantations at up to 3950 ft. (1200 m) in the states of Chiapas, Guerrero, Oaxaca, San Luis Potosí, and Veracruz. In Belize, plants are found, but are rare, in the Toledo District where they grow on trees in wet, broad-leaved forest at 250-650 ft. (70-200 m). Plants are also reported to be uncommon in Guatemala where they have been found in various locations growing as epiphytes in damp forests and coffee plantations at elevations up to 3950 ft. (1200 m). In Costa Rica, plants have been reported as growing on the Caribbean-facing slopes, but no other details were given.
