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: Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. Plants were discovered originally in Peru in the department of Huánuco where they were growing on trunks of fallen trees. The range of distribution is now known to extend from Costa Rica to Bolivia, and Bennett & Christenson (2001) reported a plant growing near Leoncio Prado in the department of Huánuco in a wet forest habitat on a road cut at about 4600 ft. (1400 m). Plants in Ecuador have been found on the eastern slopes of the Andes in the provinces of Carchi, Morona-Santiago, Napo, and Zamora Chinchipe growing from 1500-6550 ft. (450-2000 m). Bennett & Christenson (2001) reported that some Sobralia species aggressively colonize disturbed areas, but that Sobralia fimbriata does not generally survive severe habitat disturbance.
