Where it grows wild

No locality records are available; Ecuadorian Pleurothallis are mostly small epiphytes on mossy branches and trunks in wet montane and cloud forest.

Not recorded; the climate site was set at about 1,200 m on the eastern Andean slope, while many Pleurothallis grow between 1,500 and 3,000 m.
