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: Cuba. Plants grow in clumps of grass and leaf debris on
the surface of the ground. Details of habitat location and elevation are
not available, but Braem (1986) reported that they grow in the same
habitat as T. hawksiana (Moir) Braem, which was described as being at the
eastern end of the island. Climate data has been selected based on the few
known facts, but the selection was mostly speculative, augmented with
supposition, with a wild guess or two thrown in for good measure. Growers
should, therefore, use the following climate table and cultural
suggestions with a great deal of caution.
