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: This extremely widespread terrestrial orchid is found from
southern Florida, through the Caribbean Islands, and from southern Mexico
through Central America, as well as almost all of northeastern South
America, including all of the northern countries with distribution
extending southward to São Paulo Brazil and westward to the eastern
foothills of the Andes in Peru, Bolivia, as well as all of Paraguay, and
extreme northeastern Argentina. In Florida, plants are common in road-side
ditches, but may be found in almost any type of damp habitat from dark
swamps to sunlit moist pastures. Pants in shaded locations seem to bloom
less than those growing in bright light, however. In Guatemala, plants are
found in a variety of habitats at elevations up to 3300 ft. (1000 m). In
Panama, plants are found in areas of wet savannas and along roadways from
near sea level to about 1950 ft. (600 m). Distribution extends into west
central Africa, with plants reported from swamps and wet grasslands at
3750-4250 ft. (1150-1300 m) in Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic,
Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra
Leone, Sudan, Uganda, Zaire, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
