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: Belize, southeastern Guatemala, Central America, Venezuela, Colombia, Trinidad, and northwestern Ecuador. Although plants are distributed over a very large area, they are uncommon throughout much of their range, particularly in northern Central America, but they are more common in other parts of the habitat. In Guatemala and Belize, plants are found in swamps and wet forests at low elevations up to 500 ft. (150 m). In Nicaragua, plants grow in tall evergreen forests, open pastures, and on fence rows from sea level to 1650 ft. (0–500 m). In Costa Rica, plants are abundant in dry forests on both the Pacific and Caribbean side of the dividing mountains. In Panama, they are reported near Chiriquí Lagoon and in open woods east of Panama City as well as several other locations. Plants are common in the valley around Caracas and throughout northern Venezuela. In Ecuador, plants are found near the northwest coast in Esmeraldas Province, where they grow in dry tropical forests below 150 ft. (50 m).
