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: Cuba. This orchid has been found throughout the island in
the provinces of Habana, Matanzas, Camagüey, La Villas, and Oriente.
Habitat elevation was not reported, but Withner (1996) reported plants had
been found growing on palms in coastal areas. As most of the listed
provinces are rather low-lying, the following climate table and cultural
suggestions are based on an estimated, low-elevation habitat. They should
be used somewhat cautiously until such time as the actual habitat
elevation is known, however.
