Where it grows wild

No wild records with coordinates were available. The name points to the Cobán area, where wet montane and cloud forests around 1300 m are draped in moss and mist; small epiphytes like this grow on shaded trunks and branches there.

Probably montane, around the 1300 m of Cobán or higher; the climate centroid at 353 m is far too low.
