ORIGIN/HABITAT: Colombia and Ecuador. This species was originally found in the Western Cordillera of southwest Colombia near Boqueron del Dagua at about 3300 ft. (1000 m). Plants have since been found in northwest Ecuador at 1950-4900 ft. (600-1500 m) on the western slopes of the Andes in Carchi and Imbabura Provinces. Plants grow on both trees and rocks in sunny, exposed locations in low, dry forests along rivers.
