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

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Brazil. Pabst & Dungs (1975-1977) reported that these plants are found in the hot, humid lowlands and the cooler mountain regions in the states of Espírto Santo, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo. We have been unable to located any more specific habitat information than this, so the following climate table and cultural suggestions should be used somewhat cautiously.
