Where it grows wild

Grows on the ground, on trunks and on rocks. It is often common in the understory of montane and semideciduous Atlantic Forest, and some collections are from sunny rock outcrops. Leaves are papery, and the spathe is purplish to carmine with a brown spadix.

166 of 393 wild GBIF records carry an elevation. They range 0–2,400 m, with a median of 1,210 m; most measured sites are at 1,200–1,500 m.
