Where it grows wild

Grows in lowland and foothill rainforest, generally as a forest-floor herb on moist humus-rich soil like its relatives. Species-level habitat notes are thin.

Records span 75–1450 m with a median of 355 m, so it is mainly a lowland Amazonian plant reaching the lower Andean slopes.
