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: Southeastern United States and northeastern Mexico. In the
United States, this orchid has been found throughout most of Florida north
of a line from Tampa to Palm Beach. Distribution continues northward near
the Atlantic Coast as far as North Carolina and westward near the coast of
the Gulf of Mexico through Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, reaching
almost to the Texas border. Plants commonly grow high on the large limbs
of deciduous trees, and very large colonies frequently occur. In the
habitat, however, plants frequently are quite inconspicuous and difficult
to find even when in full flower as they often grow among ferns. The
variety mexicanum is found in Mexico and was originally reported from the
state of Morelos. Since that time, plants have not been found south of the
state of San Luis Potosí in spite of intensive searching, but collections
have been made in the states of Nuevo Léon, Tamaulipas, and San Luis
Potosí. The Mexican plants mostly grow as epiphytes in open oak forests at
3300-4600 ft. (1000-1400 m), but they are occasionally found growing as
lithophytes.
