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 and Jamaica. In Cuba, plants have been found in
several locations, including Oriente Province, but no details of habitat
location or elevation were reported. Plants have been reported from
several locations in Jamaica, mostly in the eastern parishes, but, again,
details of location and elevation were not given. Hawkes (1965) reported
that these plants require intermediate to warm conditions, however, so the
following climate table and cultural suggestions are based on this meager
information and should be used rather cautiously until such time as more
specific information becomes available.
