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: Mexico and Guatemala. In Guatemala, plants identified as
S. devoniensis Lindley were growing epiphytically on trees and on rocks in
forests at elevations up to 6250 ft. (1900 m).
In Mexico, plants previously known as S cavendishii Lindley have been
found in the states of Veracruz, Hidalgo, Puebla, Morelos, Michoacan,
Oxaca, and Chiapas. Although S hernandezii was the first Stanhopea
discovered in Mexico, details of habitat location and elevation are
amazingly lacking in the literature. In his 1975 Orchid Digest article,
George Kennedy reported finding this species in the mountains some 18
miles (30 km) south of Chilpanzingo (Chilpancingo) in the state of
Guerrero on the road to Acapulco. He stated that he was later unable to
find additional specimens of this species in the relatively low passes
along this highway in this region but indicated that plants were
reportedly more numerous in the higher, better-watered, but relatively
inaccessible areas of this mountain range to as far north as Tepic.
Habitat elevation in Mexico has not been reported, so we have estimated it
at 5500 ft. (1680 m) based on the reported elevation in nearby Guatemala.
The conditions indicated in the following table should be used somewhat
cautiously, however.
