Where it grows wild

The type came from the Arroyo Jaragua near La Melba in the Sierra de Moa, a stream valley on serpentine (ultramafic) terrain; the exact microhabitat was not stated in the sources reached, but a humid stream-valley setting is implied.

The GBIF site is at about 625 m in the Sierra de Moa.
