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: This orchid is found throughout the Bahamas and reportedly
in Cuba. Plants grow in thickets of small trees or shrubs and in palm
forests, but they are found mostly at the bases of small trees in the
thickets. In addition, plants may sometimes be found growing directly on
the limestone with their roots among the dead leaves and other plant
debris that accumulates among the trees. Although reported by earlier
writers to occur in Cuba, we have been unable to find any details of the
habitat on that island, and the reports may be the result of the
misidentification of a plant that is now considered to be a synonym of yet
another species.
