Where it grows wild

Records cluster in the Colombian Andes around Bogotá, Santander, the coffee region and Nariño, in wet montane forest. Andean Pilea of this zone grow as small herbs on shaded, mossy banks and the forest floor; nothing species-specific on the microhabitat was available.

Recorded at 280–3,340 m, median 2,500 m; most records lie between about 2,000 and 3,000 m.
