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: Brazil. Plants grow in a limited area of a small range of
coastal mountains near Ilhéus in the central part of the state of Bahia.
The original discovery was reported at 500 ft. (160 m) along the Rio
Salgado not far from the village of Santa Luzia. Because many rivers in
Bahia are named "Rio Salgado," the habitat of this species could not be
relocated for a number of years. Fortunately, however, there is only one
village known as Santa Luzia in Bahia. It is close to Una, just south of
Ilhéus. Fowlie (1989) reported rediscovering Laelia alaorii in this area
at about 1800 ft. (550 m). The plant he found was growing on a horizontal,
moss-covered branch in a huge old tree that was laden with bromeliads and
other orchids. Unfortunately, the habitat in this region is being
destroyed rapidly as the land is cleared for huge cocoa plantations.
