Where it grows wild

Observations come from hills and canyons such as Cerro del Colli (Zapopan), Calvillo, Bolanos and Nochistlan. The records have no habitat notes; rocky slopes in oak or dry tropical woodland are assumed from the setting.

The three records with elevations lie at 1497-1872 m; the measured sites go up to about 2250 m.
