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: Guatemala and Belize. Plants grow on rocky cliffs and the sides of ravines close to streams with rapidly moving water. Most often they are found where the air is charged with moisture. Plants are commonly found on granite outcroppings and limestone rocks at 350-3300 ft. (100-1000 m), but they are sometimes found on trees in mixed pine and oak forests.
