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: Brazil and Venezuela. In Brazil, plants have been reported in the states of Pernambuco, Bahia, and Minas Gerais. In Venezuela, this orchid is found near Caracas in the Federal District and in the states of Bolivar and Mérida. Details of specific habitat location and elevation were not reported, but Pridgeon (1992) indicated these plants should be grown in warm conditions. The following climate table and cultural suggestions are based on an estimated elevation to reflect these condition, but they should be used rather cautiously until such time as actual elevations are known.
