The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.
This orchid grows both as an epiphyte and as a terrestrial. In Costa Rica,
plants are found in the mountains at elevations above 2600 ft. (800 m).
This orchid has been collected at many locations in Peru in the
Departments of Ayacucho, Cajamarca, Huánuco, Junín, Loreto, and San
Martín. Most were found at elevations of 3300-4900 ft. (1000-1500 m), but
plants have been reported from as low as 2050 ft. (625 m) and as high as
10,150 ft. (3100 m). In Ecuador, numerous collections have been reported
between Morona and Santiago at 2300-3600 ft. (700-1100 m), in Napo
Province at 1500 ft. (450 m), near Baños at 5750 ft. (1750 m), and between
Loja and Zamora in Zamora-Chinchipe Province at 5250 ft. (1600 m). This
information is as reported in the literature. Because of the confused
taxonomy for this species, however, we are not completely certain that all
the information actually applies to Xylobium squalens. According to
Pridgeon (1993), the most recent publication treating this species, it is
found from Costa Rica southward to Brazil at elevations of 650-1000 ft.
(200-1000 m).
