Where it grows wild

There are no field records. Both parent groups are epiphytes of humid mountain Atlantic Forest in Espírito Santo, so this hybrid is assumed to grow on mossy trunks and branches there.

No elevation is recorded. Santa Maria de Jetibá lies in the Espírito Santo highlands, at about 600–1,000 m.
