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, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras and
Nicaragua. These widespread but uncommon plants are normally found on the
lower slopes of mountains facing the Gulf of Mexico or the Caribbean from
the State of Vera Cruz in Mexico southward to Nicaragua, but they have
also been reported from the Pacific-facing slopes in El Salvador. Plants
usually grow as epiphytes in wet mountain forests below 2800 ft. (850 m),
but the collection in Nicaragua was made at 4900 ft. (1500 m).
