Where it grows wild

Probably grows on dry, rocky slopes of a rain-shadowed inter-Andean valley with dry forest and scrub, an island of drought within humid Yungas forest. This is inferred from the location; no species-specific habitat notes were found.

Nine records, at 730–1,200 m, with a median of about 920 m.
