Where it grows wild

A type sheet reads 'Heights of Aripo, on rocks and trees, near the ridge'; the Venezuelan record is from cloud forest on Cerro Patao. Other Trinidad records come from lowland forest reserves such as Tamana and the Central Range.

Few records carry an elevation; the sites range from Trinidad lowlands to the Aripo ridge and Cerro Patao summit.
