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: Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. In Colombia,
plants grow near Popayan along the western slopes of the Andes at
2600-4900 ft. (800-1500 m). They usually grow epiphytically in seasonally
dry, mountain cloudforests on steep slopes and road cuts. Occasionally,
however, plants grow on the surface of the ground in low-bush vegetation.
In Ecuador, plants grow in seasonally dry, mountain cloudforest in El Oro
Province near Zarum at 4250 ft. (1300 m) and near Pacha at 4600 ft. (1400
m). It was originally found growing on the trunks of trees near Cuença,
Ecuador, and has since been found on the ascent from Guayaquil to Cuença
at 6000 ft. (1830 m). In Perú, plants have been cultivated at Iquitos, but
were collected in tropical wet forest, probably in the Department of
Amazonas. In Venezuela, plants have been collected at La Aguadita, near
Las Delicias (Edo. Táchira) at about 5400 ft. (1650 m).
