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: Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Belize, and
Costa Rica. Although reported as occurring in Mexico, we have been unable
to locate any information pertaining to specific locations or elevations
in that region. Plants have been found in Guatemala where they were
growing as epiphytes in forests at elevations up to 5900 ft. (1800 m).
Collections have been reported in the department of Alta Verapaz along the
Río Cobán, in Chiquimula near Camotán, in the department of San Marcos and
in Sololá where plants have been found along the Río Bravo near Finca Mocá
on the south-facing slopes of Volcán Atitlán. In El Salvador, plants have
been found close to Cerro de Pilón near the Santa Ana Volcano at 5400 ft.
(1650 m).
