Where it grows wild

The type locality is near the village of Abra Negra toward Impora (Potosí/Chuquisaca), at 3050 m. Labels do not name a host; at this altitude in southern Bolivia the vegetation is dry scrub and rock, so it may grow on rocks or shrubs.

Known from about 3050 m. One label from Comarapa (Cochabamba) is a plant flowered in cultivation.
