Where it grows wild

A terrestrial herb of tall evergreen rainforest (selva alta perennifolia), including the forested hills of the Sierra El Madrigal in Tabasco. It roots in forest-floor humus and litter under the canopy.

Recorded at 12–2019 m (median 157 m, 132 records); Wikipedia gives sea level to 1000 m. Most plants grow in the lowlands and foothills below about 300 m. Records near 2000 m are probably misidentified or cultivated plants.
