This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, the West Indies including Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, Colombia, Venezuela, the Guianas, and Brazil. In Mexico, plants are found in the states of Campeche, Chiapas, Colima, Guerrero, Jalisco, Michoacán, Nayarit, Oaxaca, and Veracruz. This species is not only distributed over a very large area, but plants have been reported at elevations from near sea level to about 8200 ft. (0-25,000 m). Plants grow in dense clumps, forming large colonies on boulders, cliff faces, and tree trunks. In western Mexico, plants are found in humid tropical forest or oak forest at 2600-4900 ft. (800-1500 m). In Puerto Rico, plants grow in dry and wet forests from near sea level to about 2800 ft. (0-850 m), but they are not found in either the wettest or driest areas of the island. In Panama, plants have been collected in Chiriquí Province at 2950-4250 ft. (900-1300 m). In Venezuela, these plants are common in the Coast Range and the Andes at 2500-4000 ft. (760-1220 m).
