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: Brazil. Plants originate in the states of Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais. Distribution ranges westward from central Espírito Santo to far into the interior in Minas Gerais and from the vicinity of Belo Horizonte in the south to near Pedra Azul in the north. Plants usually grow on trees in relatively open, humid forests along rivers and in swampy areas at 1950–4250 ft. (600–1300 m). They most often grow in rather protected positions low on tree trunks.
