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. This species is native to the cool, moist
mountains near the coast in the States of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo,
Paraná, and Santa Catarina. Plants usually grow on trees at moderate
elevations, but they also grow attached to damp rocks. Miller & Warren
(1994) report that this orchid is very rare at 3300 ft. (1000 m) in the
Macaé de Cima Forest Reserve in northeastern Rio de Janeiro, but that is
the extreme upper limit of its range. They further state that plants are
commonplace in nearby valleys at about 1950 ft. (600 m).
