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. Plants were originally collected in the Organ Mountains northeast of Rio de Janeiro. It is now known that plants also occur in the coastal mountains in the states of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Paraná. The habitat extends inland to the mountains of Minas Gerais. Plants usually grow on small twigs and branches in cool, misty forests, but they also grow in crevices and debris pockets in the eroded sandstone at Vila Velha near Ponta Grossa in the state of Paraná. Plants are found at 1650-1950 ft. (500-600 m) in areas that receive about 47.2 in. (1200 mm) of rain per year.
