Where it grows wild

The species description gives forests on the western slopes of Pichincha in the Lloa valley. Its short climbing stems suggest it grows low on trunks or scrambles over mossy ground and logs in montane cloud forest; the exact microhabitat is not recorded.

The GBIF records carry an elevation of 2600 m, which fits upper montane cloud forest above Lloa.
