ORIGIN/HABITAT: This rather unshowy orchid is found from the southern tip
of Florida where it has been found on the trunks and large branches of
trees deep in the Fahkahatchee swamp. Mature plants are often more or less
pendulous. Distribution extends southward from Florida to include all of
Cuba, Jamaica, and Hispaniola. This orchid is also found in Mexico from
the state of Veracruz southward through Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador,
Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, and into northwestern
Brazil. In Guatemala, plants have been found at several location in the
departments of Alta Verapaz, Izabal, Petén, and Guatemala where they were
growing on trees in humid forests or on the rocks of cliff faces from near
sea level to about 4900 ft. (1500 m). In Panama, plants have been found in
the Canal Zone near sea level along Gatún Lake, in Panamá Province on San
José Island, in Chiriquí Province at 4000 ft. (1220 m), in the province of
Bocas del Toro with no additional information provided, and in Darién
Province along the Río Tuira at 50 ft. (20 m).
