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 to Hispaniola. In Cuba, collections have been reported in Camaüey Province, and there have been collections from several locations in Oriente Province. Habitat elevation was not given for these collections, however, so the following climate table and cultural suggestions are based on an estimated elevation which was obtained by checking the elevation of reported collection areas take from topographical maps. These generally indicated relatively low elevations, but a couple of the sites appear to have elevations to about 3300 ft. (1000 m). In any event, the resulting climate table and cultural suggestions should be used rather cautiously until an actual elevation is reported.
