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, and Cuba. These rather uncommon plants
have been collected at several locations in Mexico in the states of
Chipaps, Oaxaca, and Veracruz at 3950-4600 ft. (1200-1400 m). In
Guatemala, they are epiphytic on trees at elevations up to 3950 ft. (1200
m). According to Ames & Correll [(1952-1953, and 1965) 1985] the report of
plants from Guatemala is based on a report by Schlechter. The occurrence
of this species in Cuba has been reported, but we have been unable to find
any specific habitat information for plants from that area.
