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: Southern Mexico southward through Guatemala to El Salvador
is currently considered the range of habitat. S. saccata is usually found
at 1300-1650 ft. (400-500 m) on the Pacific slopes in seasonally dry oak
woods, but in El Salvador, plants have been collected on Cerro Montecristo
at 3300 ft. (1000 m) and at Cumbre del Bálsamo and on Cerro Grande de
Apaneca at 2950 ft. (900 m). In Guatemala, plants grow on trees in humid
forests at elevations to 4600 ft. (1400 m). Ames and Correll (1985) report
that plants are uncommon in Mexico, Guatemala, and El Salvador.
Jenny (1993(3)-Schlechteriana) indicated that in Mexico Stanhopea saccata
occurs in the southern part of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and that
anything collected further north is probably Stanhopea radiosa. He states
that a Stanhopea found in the State of Chiapas near the Mexican border
with Guatemala had blossoms which were twice the size of a normal
Stanhopea saccata. There are several speculations about the possible cause
for the difference in flower size, but so far, they are only speculations.
