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: Originally found in Peru, Epidendrum paniculatum and its
synonyms are now known to occur in Bolivia, Ecuador, Brazil, Colombia, and
Venezuela. These plants are extremely variable in appearance and are found
over a wide range of habitat types and elevations, hence the extremely
large number of synonyms. In Peru, plants have been collected from
locations throughout the country on both the eastern and western slopes of
the Andes, but mostly on the eastern slopes, at elevations of 350-8350 ft.
(100-2550 m). Most plants seem to be found at 3950-6550 ft. (1200-2000 m),
however. Throughout Peru, collections have been reported in the
Departments of Ayacucho, Cajamarca, Cuzco near Machu-Picchu as well as
many other locations, Huánco near Tingo María and several other locations,
Junín in the Chanchamayo Valley as well as other locations, Loreto near
Moyobamba and Iquitos as well as other locations, and San Martín. In
Ecuador, plants have been found as both epiphytes and terrestrials on
steep slopes in wet mountain cloudforests in Pichincha Province at
(1400-1800 m). This orchid is also widespread in Venezuela, being found in
the states of Bolívar, Falcón, Mérida, Miranda, Monagas, Táchira,
Trujillo. The Federal Territory of Amazonas, and the Federal District near
Caracas. Plants are reported from elevations of 1650-8200 ft. (500-2500
m), but most collections seem to be from 5250-7200 ft. (1600-2200 m). In
Brazil, plants are reported from the hot, moist lowlands to high
elevations in the mountains in the states of Pará, Amazonas, Espírito
Santo, Matto Grosso, Goias, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo,
Paraná, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, and the Federal District.
