Where it grows wild

Atlantic rainforest on the coastal ranges of Paraná, recorded along forest trails at Serra da Prata and Marumbi; presumably a shaded understorey herb on moist banks, as most species of this region are.

Few elevations recorded; one collection at 189 m, and the measured sites sit at about 630-790 m.
