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 very rare species is found on the eastern
slopes of Pico do Itambé in the central part of Minas Gerais at 4250–5250
ft. (1300–1600 m). Plants are attached to trees that grow in the bottom of
steep-sided rocky gulches. Even during the dry season, these gullies
normally have at least a trickle of flowing water.
